    Looking to Buy/Rent/Borrow Midlock 13168 Valve Spring Compressor

    Hi All,

    As the title says, I was wondering if anyone has a Midlock valve spring compressor tool that I could buy, rent, or borrow. Looking to do a valve stem seal job on my 91 850i. I'm a college student, so I'm only able to work on my car when I'm home for breaks. I tried to order one from a UK seller on eBay, but was informed three weeks after purchasing that it was missing parts and they are having issues getting replacements from the Netherlands so my order was cancelled. I only need the tool from mid-December to mid-January. Let me know if you have one you're not using!

    Thanks!

    Check Ebay for Sealey VS168. About $50.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Do you have experience using the Sealey on an M70? It doesn't look like it has the same shape attachments as the Midlock.

    Yes I used this tool to replace the seals on my 850. Its a bit fiddly but after the first few you will get the hang of it. It helps to have a helper.

    I don't think the Midlock tool is available anymore unless you can find a used one.
