I only want to swap out my springs do I have to take the whole strut assembly out or can I just unbolt the top, swing it out, compress the spring and pull it out? Or do I have to go through this whole procedure on pelican?
Easy way to replace front springs?

I think you'd spend more time trying to do it "in the car" than pulling the complete assembly. It really doesn't take that long. I can usually do both sides in an hour at most. -
The longest part is compressing the springs, and probably more hassle doing it on the car rather than on a work bench. Not to mention, you may not even be able to clear the fenders to pull the springs off with spring compressors attached to them.'84 318i M10B18 147- Safari Beige

Pull the whole assembly. I spent an hour in the ER after gashing my finger trying to do it on the car. Much, much easier once removed. I wish I'd spent that hour removing them from the start.
