The process is simple-you MUST have the 2 spanner wrenches to get the big nuts apart. Jack up the car and put it on stands. Remove the wheels and you will see the nuts on the threaded sleeves.
Use the spanners so that the upper nut stay in place and the lower one turns to your left. That gets them apart. Now turn the upper nut as high as you need using a ruler to be able to set the other 3 springs. Be sure to use the spanners to tighten the nuts after you are done.

That is a real problem. If you don't have them and can wait-call skunk and order a pair. In fact, do it anyway as you will need them in the future. Meanwhile, if you are in a hurry you will need 2 giant channelock type pliers. Not the best solution, but if you are really careful it does work.
Whatever you do DON'T use anything else.
