Dealing with springs

I agree. I have done many front spring/strut replacements, but not rear. Just wanted to know if any special tools required or just a lot of time/patience and SAFETY.

Thanks Brian

2002 c320 rear spring replacement

The local dealer wants 650.00 to replace the 2 rear coils. Is this a reasonably easy DIY job? Is a spring compressor necessary? Any procedural suggestions or hints will be greatly appreciated.
