I recommend using a coil spring compressor, $50 at Sears Hardware. Harbor Freight has it too but I don't trust Chinese tools. Cheaper than a trip to the emergency room.

That was not to remove spring it was for the control arm bushing it was so worn the upper control arm was stuck. But thanks for the heads up.
