I'd recomend spring compressors. It's better than getting a huge dent in your car, or even worse, your face.
Struts are not hard to replace though, just takes being a bit careful. 
if you dont have spring compressors, you can rent them from autozone, or buy a set of craftsman compressors from sears for the low low price of $39.99 plus tax

Someone apparently doesn't know that the bbs is attached to an actual website, with information!
