I should point out that the front is by far the hardest to do. I jacked it up and took the wheel off and done everything else, but couldn't get the ball joint apart so the strut could come out. I had to stand on it and dad hit it with a mallet

You don't need spring compressors?

you will need spring compressors for the front original springs as they are under compression.
