Just to add to this one some of the auto parts store's will rent the coil spring compressors. You just have to be careful using it it can be dangerous compressing a coil spring if done wrong.

You might find that is you remove the entire assembly as a unit and bring it to your local tire and brake shop, the will install the part for you real cheap. Just make sure you know what your doing when you remove the unit. If you release that spring, you are in trouble.
