I think the way I phrased my question wasn't exactly what I was trying to ask. To clarify, I remember seeing a thread about disassembling & reassembling coilovers using a floor jack instead of a spring compressor. I linked a few YouTube videos similar to the one I saw several years ago. My question is if the floor jack method is used to disassemble the coilovers to raise the c-clip, would you still be able to reassemble it using the floor jack? In the videos they show both disassembly & reassembly but wondering if this would still work if the c-clip is positioned higher since the spring would have to be compressed more? Also wondering how safe or less safe this would be compared to using a rented spring compressor if you were to do this at home.
