You'll need to put the car on stands and then use the jack to put some pressure on the rear spring cup to be able to remove the bolt holding it in place. Once you remove it, you drop the jack and the cup will come down exposing the spring. This if for the rear.
For the front, we've always removed one bolt from the end links, and then moved the end link to one side. This gives you a few more inches to be able to get the front struts out.

Give me a call Bert if you decide to do it yourself. I can help give you some pointers and let you know what tools you'll need to get it done.
