Default GC collar upside down

I just bought an EH2, brought it to a shop to have it checked. Everything's fine except that the ground control threaded collar was installed upside down. I was wondering how hard it is to remove the strut and install the collar right side up. Will I need a spring compressor?

no, gc springs are far shorter then stock, i'm guessing you've never worked on suspension components before?

just jack the car up, lower the perch, then go head and remove it.

or just take the shock/strut off all in one piece and remove off the car...up to you.
