I've done it in the garage, but for not much money I brought the whole struts to a shop that had a pro stand-up one, and they did it in SECONDS! Would never use the home spring compressor again.

I have used the loaner tools from advanced auto. For the bigger springs, I have used 2 sets (3-4 clamps) just to be on the safe side.

I bet but since I'd need it for a one time use, I'll just hit up a tire shop thanks
