Leave the strut connected and remove the two A-arm pivot bolts. Lower the A-arm with your floor jack, insert the new spring and jack the A-arm back in to position. I always use a chain to secure the spring just in case it tries to jump out. There's a lot of energy in that compressed spring so use caution when removing/installing.
