I am amazed you can get such a tool anywhere near $200.

This is what my local shop has.

This. I have one but it wasn't this expensive. However it also doesn't require removing the arm to do the bushings saving time and parts.

u/AlarmingRhubarb · 2 pointsr/S2000

i replaced mine at 170k miles after a money shift. saw no signs of wear, but it made me sleep better at night knowing they were replaced. i used one of these tools to make the job easy.

> The safety clips didn't fit around my gauge springs but I used it anyway

This feeds into my point: when you use them EXACTLY AS DESIGNED, they are not dangerous at all.

I would suggest using a one-piece spring compressor if you have this issue.

I don't know for sure if these will fit DIN fittings, but this is like the one I mentioned for Motorcycle springs:

https://www.amazon.com/1320-Performance-Coilover-Adjustment-Spanner/dp/B01CWIDTEG/ref=sr_1_6

You could probably cut one of those down. They're much thinner than a standard spanner, because there are two lock nuts, which these are intended for.

Here are some in aluminum:

I used this MacPherson strut compressor from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XNPVJC3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LGELBb68WK46T

It made the job much, much easier. The hardest part was getting the strut back in the car. Aligning it with the top can be difficult.

Use the two big silver adapters: one on the top hat, and one as close to the bottom as possible. It'll compress to remove all of the tension.

Yup something like this Abn Drum Brake Shoe Return Spring Install & Remove Dual-End Pliers Installer & Remover Tool for Removal and Installation https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079P5DZCQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8Fv3DbX3F4703

A strut spreader would be nice to help with the job
