Nothing really its self explanatory..but i would go rent a springs compressor from like autozone or Checkers to make it easier..

How much does it cost to rent the spring compressor? Anyone know the price to buy it?

bah, no spring compressor needed.
heres some hints:
a: when unscrewing the retainer nut on the shcok, just step on the spring and will be fine with no compressor.
b: if the cup assembly sticks on the stock shock. go to a vice, open the jaws 1", then stick the shock in there. the cup should be facing downard and sitting ontop of the vice jaws. the shock arm should be between the vice jaws but not be compressed. now take your large hamer of choice and pound the crap out of the threaded part of the stock shock, and the cup should pop right off.

otherwise, its really not that hard, just time consuming. i wish i had a second hand to help when i did mine.
