Default Front coil spring isolator change help please

Hi.

I need to change the front coil spring isolators on my 1997 Jeep Cherokee XJ 2.5 td sport. Can I just remove the wheel and ,using coil spring compressors, compress the spring remove the old isolators and refit the new ones..or..is there more to it??

Some help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

Undo the roll bar drop link as well, and let the axle droop down on the side you need to change.

Apart from that, it's very simple.
