Those ones that the other guys spoke about are probably the el-cheapo threaded rods with two claws on them type. (Sorry, no other way to describe them!). I bought a set for C$30.
I hate the bloody thing.
On a c900, you have to have the two placed so very precisely, otherwise there is no clearance to get the spring out. I broke down and borrowed my mechanics' big heavy duty spring compressor, as seen in the Bentley manual. These things run anywhere from C$300-500.
BUT, go to http://www.harborfreight.com and check out their 'clamshell' type spring compressor for US$40. I'd buy one in a second...
They have two versions, one heavier duty than the other. As I said, I'd get the cheaper one in an instant, but for some bloody reason, they won't ship to me here in Canada! Why bother having an 'international' phone number if they won't ship?!? Bloody hell, I'm getting one of my US contacts to buy one and send the thing to me...
