Do you have the spring compressor? You need that otherwise don't even attempt this

 

[Kevinho]

is it safe to do this ?
using a ratchet strap as an alternative instead of spring compressors.

You can find the step by step from here bro.
Its the same process altogether.

I would not use straps. The spring is a pretty solid and strong metallic item. Straps are threads sewn together. The likelihood of the strap snapping is high if worn out or poor quality.

But engineering perspective - yes this will work. It's cheaper to get the compressors though. Ratchet straps aren't exactly cheap either.

Look at the video properly, he is using the straps in addition to the spring compressor that could not completely compress the springs. so the straps are compressing only one ring of the springs.

yea better to get spring compressor, safety first.

If you ever do end up buying those compressors, setup a DIY session and I'll bring my tools over to assist.
