[QUOTE="LightBnDr, post: 543356, member: 9031"] The #91 spring compressor tool on eBay and the 700/4L60 low/rev piston spring compressor from TransTech are the only special compressors I used in my 11 years. Plus a small assortment of snap ring pliers. Even harbor freight is totally fine for the weekend warrior. Just need a couple different tip designs for cir-clips vs. snap rings. I own a couple giant pair of snap ring pliers but only needed them for manual Trans work and some Allisons. So I wouldn't recommend anything giant for autos. Oh, if you are ever in a bind without your tools you can use a couple of deep sockets of the same length and use your bench vice. Lay the drum on its side then compress the spring retainer to remove your ring. You can do the same thing for dodge overdrive units but you need your floor jack because the drum won't fit in the vice and the spring is 800lb force. Then use the bottom of a lift leg or your buggy in the shop. Improvisation, that's what always saves Baers life in the wild. Lol Have fun dude [/QUOTE]
