You can use a chisel and a hammer.

The tires should be off the ground, you need to take the pressure off the springs or you'll just be making it harder on yourself. Don't forget that your camber and toe are going to be off if you adjust the spring height.

Don't feel bad, I bought some thousand+ dollar koni coilovers and the tight fisted ***** don't include the spanner wrench in the kit either.
Not even a picture of how thewy go together, and no brake line brakets included, not to mention there are no english instructions.
They make great shocks, but their sales methods suck.
