4. pop the top nut. Did you leave the stupid dome cap off the top of your rear towers?
5. Rotate the thing out?
6. swap springs, and reverse...

Might have to disconnect the end links to get it to rotate. Probably do that before jacking it up?
As long as there's enough room to get the spring off w/o having to actually take off the rear strut, that's the plan.

You forgot:

0. remove the back seats
