You must be using a screw down hand compressor, those are junk. Use the crane tool, or the ebay tool.

Yes the screw down worked fine for all the others just cant get it in on the spring in the back just not enough room in there. Got the spring off with a fabricated tool like the ebay one about to put the new spring on hopefully the tool I made will work as easy as getting it off.
