I didnt use a cone compressor when doing mine... but that meant I had to remove the suspension arm. I recall it being easier with the hi-lo's though because you can shorten them up considerably less then the standard cones - I cant remember if they still squeesed through with that arm on tho :wink:

I fitted Hi-Los to the front of my Moke last weekend. They slipped in okay when would up to the minimum (lowest ride height) setting.

My cones are not knackered either - came from the rear of a 1990 Mini with 35,000km on it!

Sorry, can't help with the come compressor, I don't have one. The old cones were so squished I didn't need it...

It helps to remove the small rebount rubber under the top arm, gives you a few prescious extra mm. 8)
