Try this at your own risk right..dont hurt yourself you know eh?. I was reading that the industry standard for Working Load Limit on ratchet straps is 1/3 of the Assembly Break Strength. Check out this video of a ratchet strap failing • Ratchet Strap Testing . Spring removal on motorcycle rear shock using ratchet straps for a spring compressor.This is a Yamaha R6 sport bike rear damper with what I think is a spring rated at 500lbs / 9.85 kg/mm spring rate. I am really too weak to be pulling on those ratchets lol and I think it would be harder with a 900Lbs spring. Maybe 3 ratchet straps would be better for that or even extensions on the handles of the ratchets. Oh and I am sure it would be a lot easier in a vice.
The rear shock is from a Yamaha R6 but I am sure will work on R1, Honda, CBR, Kawasaki,KTM,dirt bike,ATV shocks.
These ratchet straps are rated at 1200 lbs and are 1" wide. You need to tape up the spring if you do this or cover them with some cloth as the ratchet or the ratchet strap rubbed bits of paint from the spring.
The bolt was a honda civic cylinder head bolt
