ABSTRACT:
A spring-compression apparatus for facilitating maintenance of a strut assembly comprises a guide member, a carriage assembly, and a rest assembly. The guide member comprises a first member end and a second member end. The carriage assembly comprises a jack assembly and a slide assembly. The jack assembly is operable to otherwise displace the slide assembly along the guide member. The slide assembly comprises a locator assembly, which comprises a locator extension arm and a center locator. The rest assembly comprises a center rest. A first strut end is positionable upon the center rest. The center locator is engageable with a second strut end for compressing the strut spring. The locator assembly further enables a user to remove a mounting nut from the second strut end when the strut spring is compressed, thus enabling strut assembly disassembly.
