KL-0006-2
KL-0006-2 (Universal)
Spring Compressor

Allows compressing the spring in-situ on the vehicle, so that the strut can be removed
without dismounting the steering knuckle/ stub axle. This is important on the front
axle of VW vehicles and on the rear axle of Ford Mondeo, etc.
Especially suitable for:
• Suspension strut mount replacement, e.g. VW Golf (IV).
Thanks to the spring compressor KL-0006-2, the suspension strut mount bearing
can be replaced in situ on the vehicle within a few minutes without having to
remove and re-install the suspension strut. Expenditure of time about 15 minutes;
Time savings about 1 hour.
• Spring and shock absorber unit removal and installation, e.g. VW Golf (IV)
By using the spring compressor KL-0006-2, springs can be pre-compressed in situ
on the vehicle without having to remove the steering knuckle/ stub axle. Spreader
tool KL-0104-21-1 A is used to widen strut clamping bores, thus allowing the
spring/shock absorber unit to be easily removed from the clamping bore hole.
Expenditure of time about 10 minutes; Time savings about 30 minutes.
The spindles are equipped with contra-rotating threads which eliminate the risk of
slipping round the spring. (Not suitable for use on Mercedes springs.)
Note: Use a spring compressor such as the KL-9002 or KL-5501 to remove the spring from the
vehicle. Two-part spring compressors without safety loop are not authorized for use in workshops.
Technical Data:
Max. load capacity: 8,000N
