Default Trunk spring tool to borrow?
I would love to borrow someone's trunk spring tool for the s2000. Hoping to do an install ASAP this Wednesday. I'd be able to pick it up and return it within a couple o days.

Please help!!

If you have a good pair of mechanics gloves you can do this by hand. I've done it before....unfortunately I had a "I wonder how this comes off" moment and had to get it back on.

What is the tool used for? Taking the support springs off the trunk?

If the CR trunk springs are stiffer are they more of a "b" to install without the actual tool?
