Check out Fred Munro's post.  It is that simple.  The jack just needs  
to be small so it does not get in the way.  Moving the lower shock  
mount up will allow you to insert the bolt -job done.
My neighbor has one of those little floor jacks that comes in a Pep  
Boys kit.  It is too small to be of much use around the car since it  
does not have enough lift height, but it is perfect for this job.
Working with spring compressors when installed on the vehicle is an  
invitation to finger loss.
