Mono shock spring ??

[SpartaSXr]

I have the shock off and want to change the clip to the 3rd notch but what are you guys using to compress the spring ? I tried a set of strut spring compressors and they are too big to pull the spring straight.
Also I found the cable to the adjuster has pulled loose at the shock, looks like the adjuster works just the outer lining of the cable broke loose. Is there a fix for the lining without replacing the whole adjuster ?

i used two ratchet straps one on each side of the spring. i did mine with the shock in the sled

I used 2 strut spring compressers and a strap to keep them from flying off. Only one ear on each compresser was on the spring.

Just hang the whole suspension, No need to compress anything! Loosen the nuts and take the bolts out. Done Really its that easy.

Yea I tried the compressor with only one ear on the spring but failed to use a strap to keep the darn thing on the spring, kept twisting and falling off . I will give it a second try. Thanks.
