Rent a spring compressor. You'll need it for the disassembly but not for the intall. Make sure you keep one side all together so you can reference it. And make sure you torque everything TO SPEC! Don't overtorque stuff... You'll end up with messed up strut mounts like I do. And those things aren't cheap!

I had to use that eventually because someone used it on me and I thought it was funny haha, so I thought I'd pass it on.
