NorCal,

You will not need a spring compressor. Jack the car up, take the rear wheels off. put a floor jack under the hub assy where the shock absorber is connected. disconnect the shock absorber at the lower end connected to the hub assy. lower the floor jack down, no large amounts of pressure here. You may remove them now, or you may have to loosen the fwd trailing arm where it connects to the frame (where you adjust the toe of your wheels) The springs are now resting, not in a sprung condition.
