I plan on installing new heavy duty springs I just ordered for the trunk lid springs.

I have a rear decklid spoiler and really need these new springs. Just ordered the springs

and it is not going to happen without this spring tool. Anyone out there with an extra they want to unload?

Any idea where to purchase this tool?

I refuse to pay the dealer to do this ....

Thanks Guys......

 

you do not need the tool, all thats need is a pair of plyers and a long flathead screwdriver

 

Braver man than me... No way i'd attempt that job again without the tool.

 

i've done it more than 3 times without the tool, and twice with it. sure they tool is easier and safer, but both ways work

 

and Ill be doing it without the tool this weekend..

 

just watch your face and fingers when the spring lets go

 

Well, I got the HD springs today. After trying to lock the spring in place, It is not going to work without the special tool. I cannot get enough leverage with a long screwdriver to twist it into its position.
I just run out of room when the screwdriver cannot twist the spring anymore because it is hitting the top of the trunk.

I cannot figure out how ANYONE did this without the proper tool.

 

I had the same problem when I tried to install mine, after a couple of hours of trying without the tool, I decided to go to the dealership and ask if they had the tool. Which of course they did, so I just asked if I could use it for a min. which they replied yes. Sooooo much easier with the tool. They did not charge me anything for the use of it.

 

Which of the two trunk spoilers - wing or lip - are you guys replacing/upgrading the trunk springs for?

I just order the A-spec bodykit from Tim (hondacuraworld.com) w/ the decklid lip spoiler & just wondering if I need to do the same.
