there is actually a special one they sell or you can rent/barrow from a autozone or whatever store is closest to your area......there are other ways of doing it thou...i use a really large (C)clamp and a modifyed socket i cut the side on to get to the locks ...works well for me...as far as the compressor tool..you need to specificly ask for it..or they give you the common chevy ford vertion...make shure you tell them its for DOHC with bucket over spring configuration...this should help...if they look back at you confused..your in the wrong store and run like hell to a new one..lol
