    Mate,

    Have a go at obtaining a car repair manual from your local libary. The repair manual's show you step by step of how to do the job.

    If you aren't confident in doing the repairs, perhaps do some overtime at work and let the professionals fix your car,

    Safety first mate.

    I agree! it can be quite dangerous doing this yourself as you will require the use of spring compressors, and if the spring slips out it can do some serious damage to YOU and /or anyone/anything around you.
    and you will need a wheel alignment to preserve your tyres.
