Carl,
You shouldn't need a tool to do that specific job. Put the rear of the car
on jack stands. Release the e-brake. Then use your jack to raise the
trailing arm enough to take the pressure off the vertical shock link. Undo
the vertical shock link at the trailing arm. You'll need to losen the brake
line from the trailing arm as well. At this point you can slowly lower the
jack. You'll probably need to rotate the axle in order to get the trailing
arm all the way down. Once all the way down, voila, the spring will come
right out by hand.
Good luck,
Todd

p.s. As far as the front springs, I'm told you can use the weight of the
engine to do more or less the same thing...without the engine, use a long
threaded rod/w big washers to compress the springs or a spring compressor.

Hi.
I need a little advise on where to purchase a specific tool. And I don't
know
what the tool is called.
The tool clamps down on suspension coils/springs so you can take the
coils/springs from the rear trailing arms on the TR6.
Any advise on what the tool is called and where to purchase it?
