Jaguar XJS Service Tools

I own a Jaguar XJS coupe 5.3 1989. I want to replace my rear suspension Shocks and Springs. I need to buy Service Tools 18G47(MS47) Multi-purpose hand press but cannot find on the Internet?

I suspect most of those older tools are out of production...but they've never been commonly marketed/available to the public as far as I know. Not enough demand.

Generic external-type spring compressors can be used on the springs

The rear springs are basically coilovers the easiest way is to unbolt them and take them to your local shop and have them remove the shock and replace with one you supply.
