Spring compressors are really not necessary for the rear of a RWD Volvo. Jack up the car and support the body with jack stands--put the jack under the differential and lift it a little. Disconnect the upper shock mounts on both sides-then lower the jack under the diff just enough for the springs to fall (on 240's) away from the upper perch (on 140's which are bolted top and bottom let the spring hang at near no-load length and then unbolt the lower clamp-there will be nearly no pressure from the spring. The shims can be added above the upper mounts or below the spring-your choice. -- Dave
