would be to pick up the spring compressors at an advanced auto parts store, that is if you have one near you. to use the tool is free
go to the counter and say you need spring compressors, but for some dumb reason i think adv. auto parts store calls them strut compressors. they will ask for 55buxs just in-case you dont bring them back.
they will give you a receipt and the tools
its up to you if you want to keep them or not.
i found i enjoy compressing my springs for no real reason so i said to the teller if it was ok if i never bring them back and they keep the 55 buxs, the teller said that is no problem at all & said they sell the same compressor for 35 buxs. (roundabout price)
but if you bring the tool back they will refund you full 55buxs including tax if there was some.
oh.... yeah sorry about that bust size for some reason breasts popped into my mind and slipped through my fingers :)
im sure it wont happen again
other then the compressor everything else a cave man can do as in bolt goes on end of wrench.
i almost forgot, i made good use of a four pack of full throttle, with the mind racing at 100 miles an hour things just seem to get done, not only do they get done but it seems it gets done fast and(.... well, call me wired) kinda fun.

on a side-note, im sure im forgetting something like... make sure to jack up the car before you attempt to pull the road wheel off, but this kind of info i think you already know, so if you find i forgot a step or a tool needed (which i doubt) just chalk it up as i thought you knew.
