Pretty sure you can rent them at the parts stores.

Are you looking for the on car unit, or the tool that clamps the valve and spring like a vise grip...I have both.

lol...

After I bought it I thought of doing the same thing but with the tools I have it would have been a headache.

I should make a bunch & bring them to the GM Nationals !!!

I assume you make the screw down type that does two at once? Wish I had bought one of those. Bought one from Auto Zone that seperated and launch a spring across my garage

**bills98ta** · 03-24-2011, 03:17 PM

Na, one at a time... The clamp on ones do suck... I've launched a few my self !!! LOL
