SUBJECT: SPRING COMPRESSOR SLEEVE MODELS 124 AND 201

FIGURE 1:




A sleeve must be slipped onto the spring compressor for removal/installation of the rear springs of the above mentioned models (Figure 1)..

The installation of the sleeve shortens the span of the spring compressor and prevents the threaded spindle from possibly damaging the chassis bottom when the spring is compressed.
