if its just the springs you replacing them uno the bottom shocker bolts and use a trolley jack to support the axle and move it to get the bolts back in

well first thing is to get the spanner on and another little spanner on the top i think its a 7 mil if that just rounds then take the plastic guard thing off (cut it off) then get some mole grips and just get them on as tight as they will go and get someone to hold them or wedge them somewhere while you loosen the nut at the top off hope this helps

There are flats machined into the top of the piston so you can use a spanner to hold it whilst undoing the nut, it is 6mm. I bought a 6mm spanner but it was tiny and didn't look that strong but it did the job. Alternatively you can use a small adjustable spanner as that will have more meat on it.
