The o-rings keep the coilover on the shock, you need a compressor to take the stock springs off. Try the link in my sig for some install info

drill the bolt, get it fragil, than hammer it out with a flat head. this is a common occurance with hondas...dunno why that perticular bolt keeps breaking almost on everyone i know.

you can get stock springs off without a spring compressor.
