Q. about compressing rear struts for lift blocks


Recommended Posts

Alright, so I'm trying to take some EA82 rear struts and put them on my EA81.

When I bought my hatch it came with the reat lift blocks to do the convrsion.

Here's where I'm lost. I got one of the struts apart and took the original mounting bracket off, but while trying to put the new lift block on I realized that I can't compress the strutt by myself to tighten down the two nutts on top.

 

So...How do I go about this? Is there a trick? Can I buy a cheap-ish tool that holds the springs together? What are my options?

 

Thanks-

Ryan
