REally? I saw lots of guys on the volvo speed forum who had done it (pictures proved it). My compressors were just barely adequate to do the job. Towards the end trying to compress the spring even more for reinstallation was just making me too nervous. If I had compressors with double hooks on both sides I think I would have been fine with it. Mine (the ones in the garbage now) had single hooks on one end.
