+1

What exactly are you having problems with?

If it's actually taking out the springs... just have at it! Get a crow bar, and give it hell. That's what I did lmao

you dont need a spring compressor, just lower the a-arm completely and you can just pull them out.

correction: you don't ALWAYS need a spring compressor, but they're ALWAYS nice to have in case you do and oodles upon oodles safer...
