Mate, grab a spring compressor if you don't have one about $70.00. Compress the spring so that it can move around where it sits, then undo the bottom of your shocks, also support the bottom arm coming away from your shock on the inside with a jack. Just do this so that when the arm drops your don't rip your brake line off. Then give your spring a jiggle and out it pops. To replace it's a matter of doing the opposite of taking them out.
