Don't think you need compressors, unless you mean spring compressors, which are pretty cheap. All in all, it's really not even complicated, per se.
It's just hard, manual, grueling work. It involves sheer brute strength and beating on parts of your car with hammers to dislodge them.

it's not that hard. you can rent spring compressors from autozone. and it doesn't involve that much strength especially if you use a pry bar (leverage is great). you don't exactly have to beat the car, just hard taps. if you have the time to do it and maybe one person around that's has atleast some prior experience, than it's not very hard.

i got fired from my job on monday but I have an interview tomorrow for another and most likely i'll get that job...so I'm still in depending on if its available in three weeks...just don't count me in as one of the first to pay...move me towards the bottom, if it even matters.
im still in though don't worry, i'll get the $$$ some way or another.
