Others will comment but I know this from experience:

You need three things for sure.
1. A good spring spreader made for the Model A Ford.
2. Serious jack stands to go under the frame on both sides of the car (rear).
3. A chain to wrap around the old spring in case the center bolt decides to let go during removal.

If you don't have these items don't attempt the job.
