Thanks Humpin SS. Glad it worked for you. This is what we designed this tool for.
It is not the new comp tool, and I wasn't aware that comp made one.

The grove side is for spring that sit higher. You need to use this side to get the nut started. Our first spring the nut started to wear but after we dropped in in some rear end oil everything was good to go

It is NOT the comp tool. It IS a tool developed jointly by Vinci High Performance and Crane Cams; and it is slick. Best thing available for changing springs on an F-body, really saves the back. Allows super fast spring changes other applications as well.

haha... "dual larry tool".

I'm looking forward to using mine soon.

This Vinci one looks like the best I've seen. Cheaper than all of the 'fancier' spring tools too.
