Guys,
My restoration shop installed my doors/hinges on my car. They didn't put the hinge springs in.
I'd like to put the springs in without taking off the hinges and or the doors.
Is there a tool out there to compress the spring to install?
Any idea??
Thanks in advance,

Jim

I think the name is Steck, they make many different body tools. Your local body supply shop should stock it or be able to get it.

From the looks of it you could make one yourself?
