Actually the Service Manual give procedures without the use of spring compressors, thus:-

Removal:
1. Loosen lower shock absorbers on lower arm and connecting linkage of torsion bar. 2. Lift vehicle at the front and rear to give clearance from ground to excentric bolts of minimum 30 cm. 3. Mark position of excentric bolts on flange washer and frame and loosen hex nuts. 4. Support lower control arm with pit lift on inner lip of lower arm, knock out cam bolts and carefully lower the pitlift (make sure the cam bolts are not mixed up). 5. remove pitlift, swivel lower control arm forward and remove front spring with rubber ring.

Installation:
6. Insert front spring with ground end up and with rubber mount attached. 7. Swivel lower control arm into its installation position, while turing front spring in such a manner that the lower coil end is in alignment with the identation in control arm .
