I think I have identified the spring compressor. It is the one in the tool rental forum that has the 2 discs and the big "screw" in he middle. I could not find a bushing tool in that forum. So I might have to buy that. I am still looking for instructions for this procedure. I imagine it is something like this:

1. Raise car with wheels off ground.
2. Remove wheels
3. Remove springs with spring tool.
4. Disconnect tie rod end and ball joint??
5. Use bushing tool somehow, need details on that.
6. Reassemble.

Can someone fill in the details?

Thanks
