rite you can either get someone to stand on it and hold one spanner whilst u turn the other, or you could put it back on car and then loosen it, bit of a pain if you have already put the spring compressors on, i imagine you are using them? it can be done, takes a lot of swearing tho, but if u want the easy option put it back onto the car, loosen it quater of a turn then take it off, re-attach spring compressors etc
