Is there not one in the guide section?

Its part of the lowering process if you are fitting springs.

front

BEFORE you jack the car up undo the 2 21mm top mount caps under the bonnet (soak them in WD40 the night before) don't remove them completley yet

jack up BOTH sides of the car (do this off the box section under the car, NOT ON THE SILL!)

remove wheels

undo lower shock bolts (21mm or 19mm, i can't remember, i've been on the stella)

when the shock is free, remove it by pushing the lower part towards the rear of the car (between the steering arm and the wishbone)

once off the car undo 17mm top nut (if its a 172/182, there's no need for compressors)

bang on new spring and reverse the above process

Look for FUBAR's guide on fitting lowering springs. All the information you need will be in there.
