So, you can’t figure out how to use a tool properly, so you move on to rig something up…
How many other tools can you not figure out how to work properly?
Many other folks have figured out how to use a spring compressor.
Maybe you should ask yourself why you are the exception.
Way to go…
Document your retardedness for the entire world to see.
My motivation is not to save this lame ass…
My motivation is to prevent folks like you from listening to him!
You just admitted it is dangerous.
If it was safe, why would you feel the need for a disclaimer?
Freedom of speech is one thing...
But this guy is making some bold claims…
When this douche says IT IS SAFE… that changes things don’t you think?
This is not about 'self expression'
This is about making the claim that hose clamps are safe for use as suspension spring compressors.
first off, i have made this entire argument respectful towards yourself and anyone else disagreeing with my point of view. I can carry out an intelligent debate without resorting to calling people "lame ass" and "retard." you sir seem to lack that quality.
Secondly, I AM NOT USING HOSE CLAMPS AS COMPRESSORS, I AM USING THEM TO HOLD THE SPRINGS COMPRESSED AS THEY GO FROM MY BENCH, TO MY CAR. All of which i have stated multiple times, but you seem to keep missing.
Thirdly, I very much know how to use a spring compressor properly, but apparently the compressors i rented are not the correct ones you need to put the springs in a foxbody. This was also stated in several other of my previous posts
Fourthly, I NEVER said this was a safe way to do this, as i have stated multiple times throughout this whole debate. what i did say was that this is THE QUICKEST, AND EASIEST WAY TO GET YOUR SPRINGS IN.
It seems to me that i have displayed much more calmness, intelligence, and patience than you throughout this whole thread, I have laid out my argument and my supporting facts while you have done nothing but rave about safety and how much of an ******* i am for doing my car myself the way i want to do it. From what i can tell you havent even read much of anything i have said because you keep ranting about me doing things that im not even doing, ie, using hose clamps to compress the spring, calling this method safe.
In the future i can see a few people trying to do springs on their own and getting pissed off at the spring compressors from autozone and resorting to the method myself and 1sickfox have proposed. As i stated in a previous post i will do it myself on the passenger side and document it step by step for anyone who is interested.
Stay tuned, and to everyone who disagrees with me, remember to be respectful or i, as the OP, will request for a moderator to lock or remove this thread, because i am sick of being called names in an internet debate by people who have alternate views.
VRI, from browsing your website you seem to be a very intelligent individual with alot going for you, so act accordingly and stop the slandering and just put foward your debate like the smart person we know you are.
