It is a very involved job but not too hard. You have to be able to take off the pads on top of the spring to bond the new ones on. Then you have to cut down the brackets that held the spring to match the amount of size difference between old wedges and new wedges. I am not sure how you would do that while spring is still in car. Do a search as to other posts so you have an idea what all you have to do and some peoples short cuts.
