ZTR Racing Products Spring Compressor The figure above shows the variator tool with
a variator installed. The variator is compressed between a bottom plate
and the plunger (white) shown. Once the variator is fully compressed,
the nut is removed. The variator can then be uncompressed by turning
the bolt to raise the plunger. The uncompressed variator can be removed
and maintenance performed.
The variator assembly/disassembly tool will allow one person to easily
assemble/disassemble a variator in just a few minutes! If you have to
work on a variator then you need one of these tools.
