I think he's taking them out. But i just did a spring swap in my car and i did things kinda the same way. all i did to take out the old springs was disconnect my strut and sway bar (with a jack under the ball joint. And when it was all out i lowered the jack slowly. And basically reversed the process to put it all back in. You can even use the spring compressor to take tension off and then its a little bit easier. But MAKE SURE you use a jack under the ball joint. There is alot of power in those springs. When you let the jack down just do it slowly and then the spring will just unload and then pretty much fall out. But be careful and just let it out slow and youll be fine.
