Use a proper spring compressor, stay focused and do not forget/lose sight of the energy stored in the suspension coil spring. I'd use a safety backup to keep it contained in case
something slips. A HEAVY cable or chain looped through it and secured closed might work well...just figure out what would work best for your situation.

Soak the tie rod adjusting sleeves several times in anticipation of an alignment.

Good luck!!!
