Default Not too hard

If you have the spanner wrenches, you dont even need to take the assemblys out of the car just break the two nuts apart (WOW) and twist away. I had to do it when I corner balanced the car. I am crossing my fingers for you however and hope that the spring does not turn with the perch otherwise you wil have to hold it while turning the spring. Happened on one of mine, not easy to do but can be done with a buddy

Default eh....it can be a bitch

its not like its hard or anything...but its just time consuming cuz u gotta jack up the car...pull the wheel, wrench at the coilovers for a while, and then put the wheel back on.......and do this 4 times. took me a lil more than an hour to do all 4 corners. i raised it up 10 turns all around...i guess that kinda matters. obviously, the less turns you hafta make....the quicker its gonna go? :P its time consuming, but its just grunt work. ur back's probably gonna give out too....mine did. ur stuck in a crappy position for a long time. gluck man
