Default Ordered new trunk springs

As the title states, I ordered new trunk springs, and from what I hear, will need the special tool to install them. Does anyone have one and want to let me use it or help me with it? Thanks in advance.

PartsMike did mine when he put the OEM wing on for me. The only real catch was thet you have to know how what end has to the "twisting". We kept putting it wrong and the tool would just pop-off and not hold the suspension rods in place. There is quite a bit of tension on the bars so you'll need to be careful. Once we had it on correctly, it took all of 2 minutes.

take one out and replace it then do the second so you know which goes where and how they needto be in the trunk. Thats what I usedto do at the delaership when I was in service, had to replace the springs when putting a spoiler on all cars
