I linked these from amazon, just to show you. Both of these will make the job easier.

Pliers from amazon Use the round part on the end of the handle, put it on the top part of the spring and twist. Use the other end of the handle as a prybar to put the spring on.

[Hold down spring thingy] (http://www.amazon.com/Tools-2774-Shoe-Rtng-Sprg/dp/B0002SQU7W/) Removes the round hold down on the shoes.

i would recommend checking the Automatic Transmission Fluid. use the photo below (link 1) to determine the condition of your fluid. the dip stick should be on the left side of the vehicle (near the fuse box in the engine bay), at the front of the transmission.

if it is dark/black, DO NOT flush it all out. extract 2 quarts out (2nd link to the pump that i use), then pump in 2 new quarts. drive for a bit (20 miles or so). see if it improves. if it does, in 30 days, do the same process again - only 1 quart though.

you'll repeat the process every 30 days until the fluid all looks clean/new.

It's a super easy thing to do yourself at home really.

Pull one wheel off at a time and bleed them individually.

Be careful not to let air back into the system.
