I have used this tool to replace my Rev double springs to Isky's double springs and it was so easy. It is in my car as a portable set in case I got broken spring in the middle of no where:D

$30 for that thing, it's nothing more than a piece of steel with a cutout and a hole in it :lol:

Here's what you get. Notice the socket head stud for wrenching. http://www.mustangmods.com/data/440/valvesprgtl.jpg

Sorry, I don't mean to flame ya, it's just that I made my own a long time ago that is very close to that only it was free. But, I understand that a lot of people can't do that.
:cheers: Here's to you for marketing them :thumbs:

I'm sure they can be made fairly easy but everybody doesn't want to take the time to call around to find the correct size bar of steel and have to buy a three foot length to make the tool, then run all over town trying to find the correct size and length stud. You will need the correct cutting tool to do the job too unless you already have them.

Not sure this is going to be free?
