well, got my works shocks today, and it seems the shock body's have some slight surface rust on 'em, and are just generally crusty, the springs are ok, no chips or rust,
so i stopped at advanced auto and checked on their loaner spring compressor tool, and they told me it wouldnt do my shock, i took the shock in with me, the forks were too wide
so any of my veteran bro's have any redneck ways to compress these springs so i can break these down to clean and paint the shock body's, i was thinkin of paintin them that "duplicolor red metal spec" thats on my frame
any ideas ???
