You're tarp as a shack?

If you have access to the professional tool then by all means borrow and use it. However, if you ever do have to make your own, just make sure you look for the higher-grade steel for the threaded drawbar. I wish I could tell you the grade I used but my experience is that your material numbering system and that used in the U.S. are very different.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

i don't know why you need a cone compressor. i have always been able to remove & refit the suspension components without one. using a big screwdriver as a lever. it's not a bodge either.

hope you manage to sort it.

Fitting new cones with a screwdriver... or re-fitting the old cones you took out? Using Hi-Los or normal trumpets?
