Today we come to tell you about our Macpherson Spring Compressor.
Are you ready to learn how to use it? It’s a lot easier to use than to spell it out!
Disassembling a damper can be intimidating, especially if we consider the preload that the springs have.
Generally, the first thing that comes to our mind is to use heavy machinery for this type of work. But it doesn’t have to be like this.
With the KROFtools Macpherson spring compressor, all you need is:
- 1 21mm open end wrench; or
- 1 wrench.
Procedure:
- To help, you can use a base vice bench
- Make sure you choose the most suitable adapter for spring size.
3. Once the adapters and shock absorber are in place, tighten the shock absorber until it is no longer under the spring load.
However, you may find not straight springs and it is even quite common to find shock absorbers with conical springs.
In this case, how do you use the tool?
You might think about using the tool aligned with the conical shape. However, the most correct way to use this tool is to always keep it aligned with the spring axis.
As you can see, it is not necessary to use hydraulic presses or other heavy machinery.
With KROFtools damper spring compressor, disassembling a damper becomes an easy, fast and safe job to do.
