you could always use heavy duty ratchet straps to compress the springs. works for me and youve probably got one layin around soewhere

yeah you could do that too. but its just easier to get the spacers that sit on top of the assembly all together. better install. seriously it will take you double the time to do the first wheel than it will to do the 2nd one. i forgot to mention the tools required
BEER!
standard/metric ratchet set and wrench set
2 jack stands
floor jack
a nice drop light helps.
a hammer
loctite
