Ok, I've been going around and around with this so I thought I'd just ask for your opinions.

How smart is it to attempt the install of my OME's (the fronts in particular) when I've never used a spring compressor?

I could spend $6 and rent a spring compressor, and do the whole job (with a friend).

For somewhere around $100, I could pull the fronts off myself, take them to Wheel Works or Firestone, have them compress and dis-assemble the fronts, remove the original parts I need, and then assemble the OME's. I'd then take them back home and swap them in myself.

Having someone do the whole install is just gonna cost too much.

I have all the threads and write-ups I can find on this install. Does anyone have any tips for using a spring compressor if I go that route? Has anyone ever had a compressor break on them?

Thanks in advance -
