zeitgeist57 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Replacing front struts in my 2005 Caravan...quickly realized that my $30 spring compressor tools from Advance are not going to cut it. Anyone have any tools that I can access this evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 i have the ones from advance at home and they've done over 100 struts.. do you have air tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 ^^^ yeah the ones you can 'rent' at parts stores are pretty beast. (AutoZone had one) Worked great on the Mustang, and they aren't all that small, though I have not seen many caravan springs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 if you can't get it bring me the loose struts assy's and the new struts and I'll change em cheap.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 just point the tower away from you and hit it with an impact wrench...itll probably dent your ceiling, but it will be a fun process. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks, guys...I ended up getting the Advance "loaner" spring compressors at the last minute before they closed tonite...MUCH longer and did the job! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
