As long as you understand the basic concept of righty tighty lefty loosey you should be ok.

Edit: you might want to rent a spring compressor just to be safe.

 

All this information and more can be answered here at: http://www.accordinglydone.com/tech/tech.php?ID=71
This website has a lot of technical articles related to DIY's for your accord. Good Luck on your install
This also has to be one of the best write ups I have seen for a new suspension install.

but wondering y do i still the spring compressor if i have a full coilover.
is it just take out the old one and put the new coilover in?

you might have to be careful about the rear shocks. where the strut meets the control arm, you would have to heat that bolt up because of the bolt is an autolocking bolt with grooves in it. rust builds up in there so that the bolt doesn't move. so you might need a torch to heat the rust and loosen up the bolt
