What I did was get the car in the air (mine is on jack stands all the way around) and remove the wheels. Then I jacked the spring up removing the pressure/tension on the bolt. I then removed the castle nut and carefully let the jack down. The spring will have a significant amount of tension on it because it is still attached at the other end. Be careful because when the spring came off the bolt it moved the jack out of the way. The jack that I used was fairly light weight. So position the jack so that you can control it easily, the spring will move downwards and toward the center of the car. Once the first side is down, the other side is easy. For reassembly, just proceed in the reverse order.
I have also heard of some people using 2 jacks and doing both sides at the same time.
