The rear will take you 20 min...the fronts take a lil longer, but i was ab le to do it with out a compressor...although you should just to be on the safe side so you dont damage anything or kill yourself...if he aint confident enough to do it himself just take it to a shop...TPS is near you aint it?

You don't need a compressor just a jack n jack stands put your car up high enough to get the jack stands underneath car than put the jack underneath lower a arm n loosen your struts n lower the jack slowly but step aside but u should be fine after lowered n springs will go in easy
