I need to buy a valve spring compressor that looks like this: ![http://i8.ebayimg.com/06/i/08/c3/c7/61_1.JPG](http://i8.ebayimg.com/06/i/08/c3/c7/61_1.JPG) I can buy it on ebay but then its going to take weeks to get here. Has anyone seen this locally somewhere?

Can’t you rent those at crappy tire for free? I seem to recall them having valve spring compressors, but I’ve never needed one. ---
