Review on Performance Tool W80554 Spring Compressor by Jack Ngo

Good for a classic Mustang, but here's what you need to know to avoid injury (or worse). The center screw is MUCH longer on the classic Mustang. It would bounce against the spring seat making it impossible to move the spring and also create a safety problem and damage the seat. As many people have mentioned, it should be shorter. ***** BUT ***** When you cut it, be VERY careful to leave enough thread to safely loosen/release the tension! RELEASE THE TENSION! I cut off about an inch more and realized this thing was a loaded gun when I ran out of thread before the tension was released. which would shoot off parts like a fragmentation grenade. Luckily I understood that and hired some external spring compressors to ease the tension and safely remove the internal compressor. Included. It's a pain to use, but it works.
