Step one take the spring out.
Step two pull the mount out with your hands, no tools required.
Step three cut the mount using a dremel or chainsaw your choice.
Step four put all of the stuff back on.

Man i cant rember but i know i put my lowering springs on the rear for both sides in like 10 mins. I really think It's one bolt per side and thats it. It takes longer to remove the tire then the spring just go do it and u will see.

The great part is that you don't even need a spring compressor.
