Can someone tell me a good method of removing the rear springs?I know to just use a jack under it and lower until the spring is out...but...
What are the chances that it can fly out before it is fully extended?

Go to autozone and borrow a coil spring compressor so you dont regret it later  .------------------

I hear ya! I bought some cheap compressors at Harbor Frieght. I did the 67 and now I have some springs and shocks I want to put in the 89. At first I though I'll jus thave a shop do it until they quoted my 600!! That was with cheap shocks. Is replacing the front and rear springs/shcks/struts a weekend job?------------------

totally.
In Fact...It's probably a half a day job.It took me about 5 mins to install 1 spring.
