[QUOTE="LITTLEELVISDAN, post: 886651, member: 15843"] Going to jump on your thread. I put on R1 rotors yesterday and decided since the front was on stands I would try to go to mid perch. I tried using my heavy duty spring compressors but the tabs were to long to fit in and even if they could the U bolt that holds the springs was to small in diameter.. I went and bought the smaller claw looking compressors and went to work. After 2 hours of the F:king compressors slipping off I finally got them compressed enough to see the set screw and that was it. The washers bound up and I couldn't get the springs any more compressed. The last hour I gave up. Put everything back and quit. WHO MAKES A SPRING COMPRESSOR that fits and will hold and is strong enough to compress our springs? I am not a novice but this is the first time I ever quit and gave up on a mod. I was an inch away. Unless you have the right compressor don't start this mod. Everything else was easy. I even got the set screw loose and the collar to move up enough to see the c ring. Just not far enough.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Why did you drop the A arm? [/QUOTE]
