bp-guy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Get the right tool for the right job as He said ^^^^^^. I have had a strut spring let go on me while changing a strut ( I was even using the strut compressor) Those things are under a huge amount of pressure and when they let go you have no warning and it could possibley be fatal... Be very careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bp-guy Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Damn now u guys are gettin me nervous on doin this You will be fine.. I should have told you we had a tool failure that caused the spring to shoot out a mach 3! it went about 10 feet up and 15 feet behind me and missed the car I was working on. We all just stood there for a few and checked to see if we all had 10 fingers still. You just don't play around with all the energy stored in the springs thats all.
