If no one steps forward with the correct Spring Compressor and you are willing to try it; the local O'reilly Auto Parts has the below Coil Spring Compressor on their free Rental (you only get to keep it for a day or so; ask them) that looks like it would work.

You would most likely have to let the Wheel hang so that you could spread the lower Spring Coil out enough to squeeze the Hooked end into position.
The forked shaped piece would go on the top under the washers and Hex on the threaded Rod.

A regular Socket on a bunch of long Extensions going through the under the Hood hole in the upper Spring Perch would be used to turn the Tool and collapse the Spring.
