Hello:you can take a long piece of threaded rod,what ever size will fit
through the upper hole where the shock would mount,this is usually at least
1/2"threaded rod can work.Usuing a plate that will stop against the lower
control arm,you can use the threaded rod to act as your spring
installer.This works really good and is very safe.Always inspect the
threaded rod for stress before using it again for safety sake.

If any doubt about your compressor, it wouldn't hurt to use a safety chain
as well.
When I was gathering info about doing mine, many guys suggested it.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day. Thank God I was lucky.

you should be very careful and compress the spring
shorter than the what it takes to thread the bottom
spindle bolt and nut on. Then you un wind the
compressor. Are the springs the same as the old ones?
