Dom asked me to post pics of my home made rubber spring compressing tool so here it is.
200mm of 25x25 square tube
400mm of M14 threaded rod (you'll need 1/2" UNF imperial thread for pre 1976 cars)
2x nuts
3x large washers
Make sure the tubing is cut perfectly square at both ends.
Weld a washer to each end.
Weld one nut to the end of the threaded bar and Bob's your aunty.
Lubricate nut to prevent binding.
