I borrowed one from AutoZone . . . no charge. You give them a deposit, which you get back when you return the tool in good condition. I had a little trouble with the tool popping off the spring, until I put a hose clamp around the tool to keep it in place.

I've got the dual spring compressor you can borrow. Works slick and fast. I'm in San Diego.

This is the tool in general. There are a few other pieces but I used it to swap valve spring on my C5 Z06. Very easy and fast to use. I could just mail it to you and then mail it back when done.

This isn't the exact tool but this is how it works.
