I did mine on an 84 recently. It's a chore, but not that bad if you read the directions (search) and take your time. No special tools as I recall. Keep in mind that you have to get one side of the car up fairly high to be able to remove the spring. This is due to the spring's arc.

Getting to the bolts that hold the spring into place is not easy, but you can do it.
