No special tool is required to change the whole springs.If you are going to take the springs apart to change individual leafs i have used a large c-clamp
If you still have the original springs with the oval front eye,i would suggest changing to the 71-72 style with the round spring eye as the oval ones are prone to breaking.

It doesn't run on pump gas

Putting them in a big vise works better than C-Clamp if you have available
