I have spring compressors and I'm used to using them, so I found the rears to be more trouble than the fronts on my Tundra. The fronts took longer, but the top nut on the rears is in a tight location.

You do need the spring compressor, and you need to know how to use it. If you do it wrong, you could remodel your face. Rent some spring compressors and get instructions. Be sure to put the spring back into the pocket in the spring seat. Note the orientation of the studs on the top before you disassemble it and put it back together exactly the same way.
