S40 (New) Body : - Rear spring change, tips and advice pls

Gremlin682001 · Sep 22nd, 2021, 11:14

Good Morning
I need to change my rear springs on my s40 05 2.0d , I notice from Vida that it looks pretty straight forward apart from the requirement for a couple of special tools for compression of the springs in order to get them out.
Is there really a requirement for those tools or will standard compressors do(the ones I use to change the front shocks for instance ) ?
Any advice, hints, dos and dont’s gratefully received as always.
Many thanks
David

Standard spring compressors should be just fine.
