As someone who's BTDT a few more times than I would have liked:
-The spring compressors from Moss and/or TRF are nice, but nothing you can't
fabricate on your own.
-Use a little lubricant on the treads of the compressor, makes things a bit
easier.
-Use a jam nut on the end of the rod you don't want moving on the threads.
Usually this is the top, but once, when installing the springs on a bare
frame, I locked the bottom. Much easier to turn, but not the normal case.
-Use two long bolts as guides when reinstalling. Use them in the center
holes.
