Best Answer

You buy or rent, if possible, coil spring compression tools.

They are long all-thread hardened bolts with a part at each end that slips over the coil.

Turning the bolt will bring the end pieces together and compress the spring to allow it's removal.

As a rule, if this is the front end of a vehicle, you will also have to remove either the upper or lower ball joint.

That job should be done by a qualified technician. The coil spring has to be compressed and the lower ball joint taken loose. The control arm has to be lowered to be able to remove the springs. I do NOT recommend that you try this at home!
