7.3 Valve Spring Compressor
Hey guys,
i made a valve spring compressor for our trucks and I thought I’d help out some people by posting the prints online.

Hope it helps someone in the future.

Yes it was, you'll have to unbolt the motor mounts and jack up on the side you are working on for the rear cylinders.

Here is a legit version of the tool
I can either rent out these or sell them if people are interested.

The job is not hard, just tedious.
Haven’t decided a price yet, will be under $200 to buy but definitely more than $150 due to the time it takes to machine.
Renting it out would most likely be paying the cost of the tool up front and then receiving a refund minus 25$ for the tool rental.
