Assuming you are talking about suspension springs in contrast to engine valve springs.
Do the rear first, they are easy, don't even have to remove the wheels. Jack the car up as high as possible with jack stands supporting the frame not the rearend. Let the rearend lower to the lowest point and I believe you have to disconnect the rear swaybar at its end-links. The rear springs should be easy to remove without any other tools, just pull them out. New ones go in easier as they are shorter.
For the front you would be better off renting or borrowing a suspension spring compressor. Take the strut loose from the upper attachment bolts and lower 2 bolts on the spindle and remove after jacking up the front of the car with jack stands under the k-member or frame rails. Take the spring compressor and compress the spring enough to take tension off of the upper mount and then unbolt the top nut with a wrench/socket/or impact. Reinstall the spring taking special care to align the upper and lower points at the suggested place, if you don't do this your car will pop and steer irradically. Make sure you place the isolator pieces (rubber or plastic) on the new springs.

Try this...except for the cutting part if you bought springs.
