Coil spring compressors...Well, that is the only "SAFE" way to do it. I bit the bullet and paid the $65 for mine and they have paid for themselves many times over in saved skinned knuckles and not knocking my front teeth out trying to compress coils some half-assed way.

spring compressors, they make it so much easier, you can go to an auto parts store and borrow them, like 50 bucks but they give u the money back when u return it good luck

you can also take your swaybar link off, lca bolt out on the side that youre working on, and jack one side up with a jack to lower the side that youre putting it in. do the opposite when you move to the other side.
