Spring Compressors

["Jack Levy" <jack@cocoinc.com>]

What is the correct way of removing springs safely? Today I attempted to
remove a front shock so I put my only compressor on one side of the spring
and tightened then took of the shock tower top nut, needless to say I blew a
4 inch hole in a wall by my bench as the top assembly flew off. I guess a
single compressor won't work?
