+1 to above. I have used the "weight of the car" method on both my cars, and thought is was safer than a lot of spring compressors I've used. And as an added bonus, the alignment is not disturbed.

Steps:

1. Loosen both strut nuts and lug nuts.
2. Raise car, place on jackstands, remove wheels and sway bar.
3. Jack up on control arm with wooden block, remove large strut nut, and carefully lower jack.
4. Strut assembly should clear fender and swing out.

Have fun!
