Just be really carefull Iv seen 2 people V badly injured using these. If you aren't 100% confident take your struts to a garage & let them do it for you.

Once the struts are off removing the springs is not a big job just dangerous. Ask a garage how much you may be surprised & it may save you from a fractured skull or worse. The energy stored in a compressed coil spring is massive & potentially lethal. I'd do it for you but I'm in Notts.
