If your going to aftermarket springs they are shorter and you dont need a compressor, true story did it last week. Use a floor jack under the A arm to slowly let the springs down until the pressure is off the spring. Then use a large flatblade screwdriver to pry the spring off its perch and then turn it clockwise and basically corckscrew it around the strut to make the whole thing shorter and then pull it all out as one piece.


Just drop the A Arm all the way down and put the strut mount end in first as on piece and then if you have to use a floor jack to compress and install.
