No spring compressor needed

[charles1990s]

I got 97 f250 wit a 6 in lift try that n lose a hand

[cgrobe21]

Now put the spring back on

[milton6124]

Hahaha funny

[arnphawk]

what a dick

[wafrederick]

A way to kill yourself,the spring is loaded.Called if you don't have the right tools,don't do it.

[sephiroth1386]

Let's see you put it back together

[zeppelin67637]

Thats just stupid

[bishop5372]

depends on the car. my wifes honda fit springs dont shoot out far at all and reinstalling them she pushed down on the spring while i tighten the nut. stop being a bunch of haters.

[elegy32skyline]

If you watch a real video of this, the spring land about 100 yards away, nice fake video but if you were to put even a lightweight car on those springs they'd bottom out immediately.

Fake fake fakearoo!

The next video is a lie as well, you'd need around 250Kgs of weight just to compress a feeble car spring but this skinny bloke does it, waste of bandwidth!

[MrBigrob89]

Bullshit No Way You Put Them Back Together Without A Compressor! PROVE IT DICK WEEEEEED!

[r3kr]

If you have some big friends, have them come over and sit on car while you align and tighten bolt. Thats how they used to do it.

[titamike]

haha yes you can do that, it saves a lot of money:) ive'd done that many times

[luvmyPT92ss]

veryyy . unsafe 

[SpankDeath]

@luvmyPT92ss not really

[fabjonjon]

Most of the time when people are doing this it is to put on shorter stiffer springs.

He should have no problem putting them back on even if you use a different strut which obviously isnt the case sonsidering you are going through the trouble of taking these old ones apart I did it I used new lowering spring (adjustable) with the stock strut and managed to put them on by stradeling and pressing really hard with both hands while my bud was able to catch the thread with a bolt, then impact gun

[klfer]

Its not recommended to do it without a spring compressor. lot of things that make this work. rear springs on most cars this can be done. fronts not so much lowering springs help make this possible. i would like to see the video of them going back together though.

[kfc2991]

It is possible to put them back with a spring compressor, I did the same shit as him for my car hahaha

[wogfun]

lol, since comments have been disabled on the next video, supposedly showing you how to install without a spring compressor, I'll save you the 45 seconds to tell you, its bullshit. The camera doesn't show anything and it's obviously a shitty joke. But good work on taking them off, that takes a nice set of balls buddy.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

@wogfun

Actually the response is not me or anyone I know. I do not need to prove it to you guys, I know that I put it back on without a compressor. I am too lazy to rent a compressor each time, so believe me, I would have used it if I had one. I just didn't. So I never used it to remove nor to replace.

[stevenmorookian16]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 yeah, removing a spring without a proper compressor is all fun and games untill a spring mames your face.

[VolksDragon]

@wogfun You can actually put them back on using just the jack, some jackstands, and the weight of the car. You secure the bottom of the strut to the Control Arm with the car as high up in the air as it can go, and then start lowering the car down (with the strut aimed to the mount points) until you have just a little bit of free space, put the "hat" on the top and then lower the car down SLOWLY until you can secure the nut on the top and then secure the strut to the top mounting point.

[BITE0ME9]

bet you wont do that with honda springs lol

[joli78363]

ilmao

[NeufNeufUn]

most people who don't have a spring compressor wouldn't have an airgun either...

just saying, ratcheting it off could be harder, still would be possible though. Watch other videos on youtube of brand new springs shooting for 100's of feet and you'd see why the people here are so stupid

[SpankDeath]

@NeufNeufUn lol alright let me know when youre taking apart brand new springs for some odd reason

[pertelos]

I did the same on my Maxima. Putting it back on is cake.

[V8FC3SJ]

I want to see this done on a front spring of a Mercedes.

[DANNOBMX]

LOL siick!

[miguelzepeda20]

easy .. awsome .. lol

[MrKdub318]

thats the fastest ive seen springs being taken off lol

[dlee1994]

well i would try that but i have a 10k spring rate on my coilovers.. i think they'd be a lttle stronger. lol

[juneya23]

we did my springs the same way no need for compressor the lowering springs are shorter so no need to compress as much u can just push them down anyone whos not a pussy can do it

[juegas]

@juneya23 haha so true man I did it that way today with my cousin. It felt so easy I thought i was doing something wrong.

[audiocable]

only chuck norris can compress those with his bear hands

[pheloniousmunk]

@audiocable Is that because Chuck Norris has bear hands?

[wweeaaawwee]

I did it the same way with my car. Same impact wrench too.

[TransAmLuvr]

lmao.........now that's getting it done!

[KevinMillard68]

now try putting them back together without a compressor

[yoDEVONyo]

how the fuck do you put it back on?

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

@yoDEVONyo Read the reply I had done, but here's a copy/paste: Do you guys honestly think I wasn't able to install it back without a compressor? It's not hard, you get one person to hold down the top plate, and another to put the nut on. Unless you are a 14 year old schoolgirl, anyone can do this.

[atomichurley]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 your fucking full of shit these springs take over 1000nm of force to compress no one is capable of that idiot

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

@atomichurley Hey Mr. Keyboard Engineer, first of all, what do you mean by "nm". If that is N/m, that is not a force unit as you said. That would be a stiffness term. Second of all, 1000 N/m would mean that you need (approx) 100 kg to travel 1 metre of that spring, which, if you think about it is not that stiff at all. So you're the one who's full of it and swinging around words and numbers you are not aware of.

I know that I am capable of putting them back on.

[jaffey2006]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 haha owned

[misterbeets]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 A 3000 lb. car puts about 750 lbs on each spring, compressing it say six inches from its unloaded length. So about 1500 lbs per foot would be my guess as to its average spring constant.

[stevenmorookian16]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 The Newton metre can be abbreviated N m.....only Newton per square meter is N/m

[sampwell1819]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 ok... try that on a F-150 or E-250, i want to see that ;)

[WestonMossman]

@atomichurley

While marginally unsafe if you don't know what you're doing to take them apart using this technique...YOU sire are absolutely retarded if you think it's impossible to put them back together. I have put stiffer and not much shorter springs on my car without compressors. Your terminology wont scare away anyone who has actually done it lol.

Git outa here.

[watchthisrobotmove]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 been doin it that way since 01 buddy hahaha thats whatsup

[lyang907]

@yoDEVONyo lol cool..ive done the same thing with my corolla struts. put it on without a compressor as well. it's not that hard to do.

[rdpraxedes]

gostei muito parabens abraço do Brasil

[BLOODYCLQ]

these are short springs for light cars, you must use spring lockers on heavy car's long springs, different pressure on long springs, also without lockers you cant put them back on, yes maybe light cars ok they have short springs but not all of them. don't do what he is doing, don't get risk.

[dragoneti67]

the only thing wrong about it is that someone else trying to do it and easily separate the soul from his body

[asianmanMLK]

Hey bro u think i can do this on a 97 camry?? or well the strut shoots out alot stronger???

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

@asianmanMLK It all depends on the spring rate and the preload on your car.

[foxdmulder]

Shocks are designed to gvw, lets see youreplacing the springs (alone) on a merc E class, thats when you need spring compressors

[MrChasR]

Depends entirely on the car. Do that on my Mondeo V6, and you'd be lucky to still have your hands (it's under a crazy amount of tension...

[nightmathzombieethan]

Brilliant in its simplicity!

[XxDannyboy1403xX]

what car did those go to?

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Hyundai Elantra ;)

[lightitupfool]

awesome

[3rdSuspension]

Cool.... now let's install them without spring compressor lol

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Do you guys honestly think I wasn't able to install it back without a compressor? It's not hard, you get one person to hold down the top plate, and another to put the nut on. Unless you are a 14 year old schoolgirl, anyone can do this.

[Strolski]

Okay now try that on a car that doesn't weigh 1900 lbs.

[dengur37]

@0xKeWLKaTx0 can you please show this explanation to your next video... thanks!

[juegas]

@3rdSuspension with two people its possible

[lyang907]

@3rdSuspension easily said and easily done, it's not impossible.

[madmax9009]

Esti d'quebecois à marde!

[gary2k5]

haha what a gimp

[mando8000]

how can i do this on my 99 civic with dropzone springs? they are really big

[gregory9740]

Cool video.

[MrAirshot]

but how you can put the new shocks ,how you compress the spring ?

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Easy. I put the whole assembly in. Then, I hold down the top plate and put my weight on it, while a buddy of mine puts the nut on it. Simple as that.

[MrAirshot]

and i think this way is not that dangerous

using the compressing tool is dangerous too

with this method and some safety thing you can add ,become very good way and cut of time to do the work

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Anything can be dangerous in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they are doing. You just have to watch someone do it the right way, and then get help from someone who knows what they are doing. That way you get better at it step by step.

[tpvalley]

I did this once in a vice in my friends back room of his house and the spring bounced all round the room, he had to re plaster it, many chunks gouged out!

[thegreatkoua]

i guess he the smart one

[BYCURE213]

well if he did this to put in lowering springs... all you have to do is put the hat on an push down on it... or atleast thats what i did when the bolt on one of my compressors broke...

[789016]

Yeahhhhhhhh???? But what is the point that you are trying to prove??? You would still need a spring compressor regardless to either put in new springs or shock absorber cartridges in. As fast as you can disassemble a unit like this an accident could happen in a fraction of what it had taken to take it a part in this form. Not worth it!

[driftcos]

safe as houses. doing it for years

[TheGreenEmotion]

Is it really safe? People always say it's dangerous and it's required a compressor or something.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

@TheGreenEmotion It is safer to use spring compressors.

[seasonedtoker]

one day the strut shaft will hit you right in your forehead and you'll be crying on a wheelchair looking at this dumb video

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Yes the shaft will hit me in the forehead, while it's on its side. Please, stop worrying about me and worry about yourself. I'm sure you have more chances of dying from a brick falling from a building than me doing this in a controlled manner. Do you guys put gloves on when you shake other people's hands in order to avoid bacteria? For god's sakes...

[sgav24]

if this technique works for him so be it. i'd do it like that too

getting hit in the forehead would leave him in a wheelchair? im confused

[videosockpuppet]

i was gonna say the same as the other guy by try putting it back together.I was wondering,since you'd need a compressor to put it back together anyway,why take the chance of taking them apart like this?It may be quicker,but its very dangerous as well.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

I put it back together without using a compressor. Next time I'll get a video for you guys, but I never use a compressor to take it apart, nor to put it back together. And this is with BRAND NEW springs AND struts.

So, no, the logic works. I just don't use a compressor at all. Seriously, I'm sure I have less muscle than a lot of people who pretend it's impossible to do so. I guess they are just all a bunch of pansies.

:)

[Subfightr]

right on

[seasonedtoker]

it was just a figure of speech. one day he'll be unbolting a bent strut and unexpected will happen. I always ask someone to push on the mounting rubber while I unscrew it. but I can see there's no affectionate work present here so you're right - it really doesn't matter what happens to people I don't know and don't care about.

best luck

[fellafoe]

now try and put the spring back on.

[Subfightr]

Damnit I was gonna say that!

I'm totally doing this next time though lol.

[Deciblaster]

The machine is only as smart as the human who made it, or the human who is fixing it. Pay attention and don't rush. and don't unscrew things or pull on things that you don't know about. You'll be ok.

and yes, you can do it that way, my dad has done it 2 or 3 times on a few different cars.

[shueget]

Sometimes when you take off the springs like that, you can end up having a stripped end. Hopefully you didn't. Its a pain in the ass when you have a stripped shock.

[SoilentGr33n]

Ostie qu'on l'a l'affaire.

C'est un gun a impact électrique de Canadian Tirelire ça?

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Yap!

[TaLoCc]

can i just do it like that?will it hurt me or the stock stocks?

[Ajs3371]

People who say this is really dangerous are funny. It's not like they propel shrapnel is all directions. Just put your weight on it and undo the top nut, nothing is going to happen unless you put your face in front of it. Just use common sense about it.

[SoilentGr33n]

Yes, or tie a rope to the fucking spring coils to lessen the expansion. People seem to think car mechanics are rocket science.

If you understand wtf you are doing and take your precautions, this ain't any more dangerous than driving the fucking car...

[kawiornothing]

i agree lol

[BOGANV8]

its easy when they are lowered springs like in the video

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Ummm they are stock springs buddy.

[EagleTalons1]

now lets see you put the springs back on the strut with out the compressor... please post the video because there is no other way i would believe you. and if you can get the springs back on with out a compressor then that means they are shot...

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

I was able to put them back, I have done it on 6 different cars without a compressor. You, sir, need to hit the gym.

[EagleTalons1]

yeah lowered springs on struts or shot to hell springs i could see but like i said before, post a video of you putting stock springs on a stock strut by your self. lol at telling me to hit the gym, dude i'm not superman but compared to you in the video i might as well be. your skin and bones man. :)

[Ajs3371]

I remove the springs from the struts just like in this video and it went fine. Putting them back on without them was tricky but it's more than possible. I would just rent them from autozone for free, though.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Eagle then I guess you should just learn how to use those muscles for things other than weight lifting, lol. Just so you know, putting them back on is all about putting weight on the top plate, there is no real strenght involved.

[EagleTalons1]

i never said you couldn't remove stock springs that way i just basicly told whats his name that posted the video to post a video of him putting the springs back on the struck and in all fairness they need to be stock, both strut and spring and in good shape.

[Chaser53pin]

well that sucked, try it with springs that aren't shot to hell, bet ya have more fun.

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

They aren't ''shot to hell'', the car was 2 years old with barely any mileage on it.

[buhrrito]

haha sic!!!! i gatta try this next time!

[lobre370]

Wow, clearly they don't know how how dangerous that is,

[0xKeWLKaTx0]

Actually, that is me in the video and I know very well what is involved, and as you can see, when you know what you are doing, there is no danger involved.

[tylerbinski]

haha that is awesome! lol.. thx bro

[Rachin08]

easy to get it back on...just put the drill in reverse!...j/k i find that amazing, i thought there would have been enough pressure there to cut you in half!...well duh i was wrong!
