[Rovernet] Front spring compression tool

[geffandjulie at comcast.net]

This method of using external compressors, vs the original internal 
insert-and- turn rods works, it seems. If you use the rods, you can 
either compress the spring externally also, or, as the book suggests, 
get risk-taking volunteers to weigh the front end down to compress the 
spring!!
