what vehicle make, model, age, etc?

if you're talking honda, you don't need spring pliers. in fact, trying
to use them can damage the springs.

what you need is proper training in a "safe" environment. suggest you
sign up for evening class at your local community college - they'll
teach you all this stuff and you won't make potentially dangerous
mistakes with your own car.
