Going with a spring compressor is the way to go. TRF sells one made for
the TR6. If you mess up with a coil spring, the damage you need to
worry least would be to your car. COILS CAN KILL!
Also, if the front suspension has never been rebuilt, you might have
lots of rust around those front end bolts, which require BIG wrenches.
