Just go rent the spring compressor from Auto Zone or Murrys or something like that. It is about a 3 hour job for someone new to do it...unless everything is rusted, make sure you Blast everything with PB Blaster the day before hand

Some sort of problem?

I'm the one that's going to be helping him with his so I was letting him know that it shouldn't take too awfully long.
