This tool will work on your '60-'70 Falcon, Fairlane,Ranchero, Torino, Comet and your '71-'73 Mustang amd '71-'72 Cougar. You simply won't use the top plate which is for Mustangs only.

THIS TOOL DOES NOT COME PAINTED!! I DO NOT HAVE THE EPA REQUIRED PAINT FACILITIES TO PAINT THIS. I suggest lightly oiling the tool since it is going to get scratched during use.

-The Tommyzees coil spring compressor, the name that stands for quality.

-My only job is vintage Mustangs and Fords, I am not a Johnny Come Lately Ebay seller who copied some one else's product. I will be here to answer any tech question regarding the use of this spring compressor for years to come.

-The original.

-Made in the USA!!

-Thousands sold in 30 years.

-Often imitated, never duplicated.

-The original, don't settle for cheap imitations.

-3/8" thick x 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" heavy duty top plate to spread the load out. A 1/8" thick SAE hardened washer is welded on top of the plate to prevent wear. (DO NOT SETTLE FOR A CHEAP 1/4' THICK TOP PLATE!!)

-Super heavy duty design, this is the last spring compressor you will buy.

-Do not settle for an un-safe design.

-3/4"-10 (B-7) grade threaded rod.


Here is a real problem solver when you are trying to do front suspension work: This is a front coilspring compressor used to remove and install front coil springs on '60- '71 Falcon's, Comets, Ranchero's, Torino's, '64-'70 Mustangs, and '69-'77 Mavericks and their Mercury counterpart Comets. WILL NOT WORK ON'62-'65 Fairlanes. It is made out of heavy gauge steel .120" WALL SQUARE TUBING. Pipe is not a structural material and should not be used for something this critical. This is MIG welded personally by myself, a certified welder. It works by lowering the tool through the hole on top of the shock tower, the lower part of the tool is attached to the lower spring saddle, and the upper shock tower mount is bolted back on to the shock tower. The flat plate is bolted to the shock mount, and the washer and nut are threaded on to the tool. The nut is turned clockwise to compress the spring about 3". With the spring compressed, the spring saddle is un-bolted from the upper control arm and the upper control arm is unbolted from the shock tower. Thenut is then turned counter clockwise to release the tension on the spring. Installation is the opposite of the above. I personally build and weld each and every one of these compressors in my fabrication shop, and I have been building them for at least 30 years and I have soldthousands to satisfied customers. This is a very safe and in-expensive compressor to use.

  • Spring Compressor Instructions

    · PLEASEREAD AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETLY BEFORE STARTING TO USE THISTOOL.

    · THIS TOOLWILL NOT WORK ON '62-'65 FAIRLANES.

    · USE TOOLAT YOUR OWN RISK. IF THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED, THIS IS A VERY SAFE SPRING COMPRESSIONTO USE.

    · You canrefer to the Ebay auction where this tool was purchased for a set ofinstructions with pictures.

    · Pleaselubricate the threaded rod and nut with WHITE LITHIUM GREASE, NOT WD-40!!!

    · The flatplate is for Mustang and Cougar applications only.

    · One studon the tool is slightly longer than the other to aid in reaching the springperch holes if the perch is at an angle.

    · The flatplate is drilled for early (’64-’66) and late (’67-’70) Mustang bolt patterns,it is not mis-drilled.

    · YOUR UPPERSHOCK MOUNT HAS TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS TOOL. THE SHOCK MOUNT HASTO BOLT BACK ON TOP OF THE SHOCK TOWER. DO NOT TRY TO USE THIS TOOLWITHOUT THE SHOCK MOUNT IN PLACE.

    1.After safely supporting the vehicle on jackstands, remove the front shocks.

    2.Slide spring compressor down throughthe shock tower (threaded rod portion up) and attach it to the lower springseat just as you would the lower part of the shock. Install the flat washers on the studs beforethe nuts, so they will not pull through the spring seat. You can now re-installthe stock upper shock mount and bolt it to the shock tower using the originalhardware.

    3. If you are working on avehicle that uses a stud on the upper portion of the shock, you can omit thisnext step and simply install the large washer and nut over YOUR STOCK SHOCKMOUNT. For Mustangs/Cougars that use twobolts to attach the upper part of the shock, slide the flat plate over thethreaded rod and bolt it to YOUR STOCK SHOCK MOUNT with the original shock hardware. Install the washer and nut on the rod andtighten until the nut touches the washer.(lubricate the nut and washerwith motor oil for easier turning)

    4. Begin turning the nut clockwise. As the nut turns, it will begin to draw thespring up towards the top of the shock tower.You only need to compress the spring enough to be able to unbolt thelower spring seat from the control arm. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COMPERSS THE SPRINGCOMPLETELY!!!

    5. With thespring compressed approximately 3-4 inches, you can now unbolt the spring seatfrom the A arm. You will now need toremove and the A arm retaining nuts from inside the engine compartment. You do not need to remove the A-arm from thespindle as you can rotate it out of the way.If you are having trouble removing the A arm, the spring may need to be compressedslightly more.

    6. Once the A arm is removed, you can now slowly release thetension on the spring by loosening the 5/8” nut. Reassembly is the exact opposite.

    · UsageTips:

    · When re-installing the spring, align the studs on the springseat parallel to the frame rails to make installation on the A arm easier

    · On reassembly, when the A arm is re-installed on the car,leave the studs loose on the shock tower to allow some movement when trying toalign to the spring seat.

    · A few steps can be saved on removal by using the vehiclesweight to compress the spring. Removethe shock, install the compressor, and tighten the nut until it contacts theflat plate or shock mount. The vehicle can then be jacked up and placed onjackstands. The spring will already be compressed as you used the vehicleweight to do the job for you. The othersteps of removing the A arm can now be followed.
