Got the spring out & in last night, a friend of mine (Dad, well he's not really but I call him that) made a Hydraulic Press in about 15 mins using a bottle jack & some machine parts he had in his shed, I spose hoarding tools for 50 years can be a good thing
Took literaly under 5 mins to change the spring I was impressed.
He's going to make a proper one up so that if anyone wants to take their spring out they can use it
Now to put the shock back in
