Not as bad a risk as having the spring compressor slip, but...
What about just dropping both guide rod mounts and the cross member free, changing them and then reinstalling the whole mess? (already going to be under the car, as a "new" engine is going in in the very near future.)

Use two binder straps (second one for safety) from the bumper mount to the lower control arm, this pulls the arm forward, and tilts the guide rod tube down (away) from the body = better access.
The guide rod mount assembly must come off the body for rebuild.
