Ecellent Tool. I can't even begin to tell you how easy it was to use. It worked excellent. I was really scared that they would take long because of all I had read about spring change.

I averaged 12 minutes per spring plus a little more for the TDC alignment. Cylinders 7 & 8 took the longest, 5 & 6 took a little less and I timed myself on the rest (last 8 springs) which I burned through at 6 minutes per spring.

This was alll by hand. I didn't use my air tools at all.

It made butter out of the double springs.

Here's a pic of it getting ready to tackle cylinder 6....

Thanks again Larry
