The FSM is pretty detailed on the procedure, you will need spring compressors.

The funny thing is that this is the one area where the FSM is actually very clear and provides good steps for R&R.

sigh.....the factory service manual which you can download from the stickied tech link thread in the 3rd gen forum

And you will need to compress your old springs when removing them. Did you buy new upper spring mounts? If not, don't bother installing the new (used) parts before you've bought them.
