Anyone know a good brand of coil spring compressor for TR4?  I would like to
purchase one, but one I borrowed from local parts place is too big to fit
inside coil spring.

Thanks,

Ditto, except I used 3/4" rod and a piece of steel from the scrap box at the bottom (probably a generator pulley half from a VW bug,
but not certain).
<http://s258.photobucket.com/user/TR3driver/media/Tools/Springcompressor.jpg.html>

One of the great things about the factory tool IMO is that it doesn't actually grab the spring at all (so no chance of slipping on
the hard, slick, slanted surface of the spring).  Instead it pinches the spring between its normal mounts, the tower on top and the
spring pan on the bottom.  Nothing to slip!

Many years ago, I picked up a full size Buick spring that was compressed with the common internal-style compressor.  We had no
trouble getting it off the car, and the spring had been laying on the driveway for some time as we changed ball joints (or whatever
it was).  Just as I picked it up, the compressor shot out so hard it flew across the street, and the spring went the other way.
Rapped my knuckles pretty good, but no real damage done.  Could have been a lot worse, though!

Thank you all for the help and suggestions.  I am first going to try a =
macpherson strut spring compressor that I loaned from local parts shop =
first.  That doesn=E2=80=99t work, off to the depot.  Also, if anyone is =
in the central florida area and would like a free 62 TR4 frame and body =
tub.  Come and get it soon. This car has seen some better days but it =
has some good sheet metal.  I am stripping of most parts for spares for =
my 62.  It has very very rusty floors and rockers and surface rust on =
all of the frame.  The front engine area is very good as is the rear =
shelf and trunk area. I think this car was under water at some point and =
front part of frame has solid mud baked inside. =20

What type of threads are used on this compressor?  If they are Acme threads you cannot use a "Jam Nut" since that thread is designed
to NOT lock up.   

Try it sometime.  I think you'll find that they do lock, just not as tightly as vee threads.  With enough torque, they still lock
pretty tight.
 
If you want a permanent joint that won't turn even under extreme torque, drill a hole lengthwise through the threads and drive a
hardened pin into the hole.  I used that on a hub puller I built with 1" ACME rod (using a second nut to lock the first one during
the drilling process), and the nut/rod joint took all the torque I was able to throw at it, even with a 1" drive impact wrench and
standing on the end of a 6' section of pipe.  It literally crushed the rod lengthwise, but the nut never moved on the rod.

Don't forget, there is a lot of energy stored in that spring; and it can be released instantly if the compressor jaw slips.  Keep
your fingers and face out of harm's way if it does.
