Looked at "how to" in maintenance section.Question is-Do you need spring compressors? Any other tips would be helpful.Thanks.

Despite what's been said, I found them helpful. Not much space and you might have to readjust the positioning when you put the spring on (due to clearance) bug I think it's better to have them handy just incase, so you dont get stuck halfway through. I tried using my breaker bar to lever them in (only needed an inch or so) but the spring just bounced off.

I agree what geoffr70 said. They are useful, specially if you work alone.
