It's not that hard, you need to rent/buy a spring compressor, but that's the only special tool needed.

Not really. you'll need spring compressors (can buy /rent from Autozone) and some shocks (usually older ones) will need lots of WD40 sprayed on the top nut.

Two bolts on the botton and 4 up top. Take out the assembly then compress the spring.
