Rear springs are easy. Put the car on jackstands and let the rear axle drop all the way down. Put a floor jack under the lower control arm and then take the bolt that connects the control arm to the axle out. Lower the control arm and the spring will come out. You might as well throw some new spring isolators in while you're at it, maybe even new lower control arms with the $200 you saved on labor. Just put the new spring back in, make sure the pigtail on the bottom points to the left and jack the control arm up till the bolt holes align. Some times I have to use a ratchet strap around the axle to help line them up.
Front springs are tougher. I always rent a spring compressor. Probably could have bought one by now.
