definately get spring compressors, need stut top tool aswell to undo the nut holding the unit together, although some people use a few diff tools to get it undone, theres plenty of posts about this from before

umm think i might just call around see if my local garage could do them it prob cost me more to get the tools than it would to get a garage to fit them.
