I just called O'Rileys Auto parts and they said that they will give me a spring compressor for $80 and when I bring it back they will give me my money back. But if Harbor Freight Tools has some I'll just get it there! I live about 2 blocks from that place!

No no no, 4 casual beers, not normal ones. Sip, then work, sip then work, then piss, then sip then work then... About 3 hours is what I had in them all told. I was also dragging my summer rims and tires out of the rafters and cleaning those up so the total time was around four hours after that. It also took me a while to remember my "safe place" that I had my lugnuts stored in which was around 20 minutes...
