I guess we have different opinions around the term easy. A spring compressor is very easy to come by via rental, and being careful is free. They can be dangerous if you’re smacking around a loaded spring or just being an idiot, but it really is quite straight forward to transfer the spring to a new shock. These spring compressors these days have locks on them to prevent accidental slippage I’m not a certified mechanic by any means, but i think if you’re careful and know your way around a socket set then you’ll be alright.
