the axle wheels off the ground and bang the shackle out you may have to jack axle up or down for the correct shackle. I never yet used a spreader used porta - power nope. So simple just relieve spring pressure that's why you raise the car so the whole axle is hanging ...hope this makes sense because I work alone for me its hard to ex plane things I just do.
Cant remember how exactly I did it but I never used a spring spreader but made use of a small trolley jack and it did the job. Probably the same way as you.
