Get one of these spring compressors:



They are the only sort I've found that can reach in and grab the D2 spring. The long bolt type won't clear the lower control arm.

Its pretty simple with one of these - just put the claws round the spring and wind it down. Pull the spring out from the base and it will drop off the upper platform. Do the broken one first. Refitting is reversal of removal. Its useful to have a friend with a very long bar to lever the suspension down while removing and refitting the spring as the rubber suspension bushes will try and pull the suspension back up to normal height once you take the tension off the spring.
