Pull the spring...

This works best if you place a floor jack under the lower control arm and slightly raise the control arm. Then, remove the retaining nuts from from the upper end of the shock absorber. Next, compress the spring; when it is fully copmpressed, lower the jack and allow the control arm to move fully downwards. If, you placed the disks correctly in the spring, and were able to fully compress it, it should be loose in the spring supports. Carefully pry it out of the support and carefully release the pressure on the spring.
