So being a newbie to this tool (made all necessary safety measures), I mistakenly used a box end ratchet (not open-ended) 19mm and as I tightened one compressor, the box end got stuck under a coil Can’t take the tool off! To make matters worse, it is stuck in the “tightening” direction. More I move it, it gets tighter. I stopped short already, just so I have a bit of space in case I have no choice but to cut the compressor. But this poses risk of course since the spring is compressed. What an idiot I am
Hopefully that made sense. I used the run of the mill OEMtools brand compressor and realized that it “barely” fits on a Swift front spring. I still insisted and was able to get it in there but the other pair can barely “bite” the spring so now it’s all lopsided, biting on one side and stuck to the new strut.
Is there a way to get this without cutting the thing?
Help!
