removing front springs

Hi All

Is there a way to remove the front springs to install new struts without a special tool? I have a 4matic

Thanks!

Hey, eastsidejp.

No way I know of. I tried three different kinds of "more conventional" spring compressors, the only one I know that works is the one in the DIY.

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
