C0untZer0:
Are these spring compression tools?

I don't understand how they work or how they are used to help get the spring assembly in the slide

tracker:
Scroll down to the photo where the channel locks compress the end cap before dropping the spring assembly into the slide. The tool, instead of the channel locks, will allow you to hold the compressed spring while you drop the assembly into the front opening and then release it manually from the assembly. You have to compress the spring manually while inserting the tool to hold it.

C0untZer0:
I still don't get it.

One jaw of the channel lock book-end the cap, the other jaw grips the spring assembly flange, and when the spring is compressed the jaws are still open by more than an inch -  the gap in these tools is about 1/4"

Do you mean the spring has to be compressed all the way down to fit between the two forks of those tools?

C0untZer0:
Or maybe you compress the spring a little, enough to put the fork down on the rod, then you insert the whole thing and yank the fork out?
