You gotta put on a spring compressor. Compress the springs then take off the top bolt and everything comes right apart.

I rented a spring compressor kit from Crappy Tire. Worked well.
The whole install, spring/shock was surprisingly easy. Well except the wagon rear sway bar.

You can take the rear springs out without touching the shocks, so I guess you'd take them out first. I've only changed my springs, not the shocks though.. Just get the sway bar out of the way, take off the bolts holding the "thingys" on, then the springs can just fall out.
