Answer
hello
yes you will need a spring comp. they sell this tool for 25 dollors at rhw parts store . to remove the struts jack the car up remove the front wheels you will have to pull the cover under the hood . remove the 3 bolts . then thire is two bolts on the botton of the strut . and they will come out. and then you will need to have the spring comp. after that easy street make sure when you install spring back they are in right postion  good luck to u if you need any more help just let me know . and please rate my serivice pete
