To the OP. If you haven't messed with compressed strut assys, then I recommend you have a helping hand. They can be very dangerous!!

Agreed. Not using a spring compressor is a great way to get seriously injured. It's just not worth the risk when spring compressors are so cheap. Metal objects that are storing a few hundred pounds per inch of force are nothing to fuck with.
So go find a friend who is equally stupid, and get them to help you.....?

You could beat Lance Armstrong in a backpedaling race.
Watch, I can say the same thing about changing your oil:
I know people will try to tell you that you need a jack and jackstands, buy you can do it with a 5 gallon bucket and 4 strong friends.
And then:
I am just letting the OP that is can be done, I was not trying to tell them to do it and that it is safe. Some times you have to do something that is not safe to get the job done. Either way I agree that you should have a jack and jackstands to make it safe.
