mine were really bad... they had to be heated for a good 5-10 mins with a propane torch. and lots of penetrating fluid... at the end of it i would almost rather just sawsall it off and put on a new bolt. which i probably should have anyway...

I think the store in Mississauga would be closest to you:http://www.princessauto.com/PAcountry.cfm?CTRY=CAN&INF=MAP&LOC=MISS&SPC=1

THANK YOU! $11.99...THAT'S A STEAL!

As you're in Canada, your local Canadian Tire
will lend you strut spring compressors free
of charge. Better than buying a tool you'll
only use once or twice.

but don't you need to buy their strut/shocks???

Not at my local Crappy Tire. They do require a credit card deposit/impression so that they can recover the tool cost if you don't return it.

No. You don't have to buy
their shocks/struts.

They lend out the spring compressors,
brake tools, exhaust tools, etc., etc.,
for free.

Just as clbanman says, you only need
a credit card or refundable deposit and
some i.d.

At my local Can. Tire they have a list of
all the tools they lend out (with pictures)
at the service counter.
