Time to replace pistons and can't find a ring compressor for sale. They apparently disappeared from the market last year.
Anyone know where I can buy, borrow or rent one?
I live in the middle of the Mitten (Michigan).
Thanks for any help!

Snap On Tools was recommended. They have it!

The rings are pretty easy to compress by hand honestly

Several of the national auto parts chains will lend you a ring compressor.

Make one. Strip of sheet steel and a pair of vice grips.

Or sheet metal and a hose clamp!
