Get a spring compressor. After compressing the springs, remove the top nut and hold the shaft with a allen wrench. Then they just pull right off. Look at the service manual and you can see the parts and how they fit together. Once you compress the spring it's a snap. You may have to enlarge the rubber hole to get the shaft of the Teins through it. Stock hole in the rubber was like 12mm and I had to bore it out to 15mm for my JRZs.The difference between Pillow Ball mounts and OEM is that the OEM use rubber to isolate the damper from the mount. There is a performance advantage to Pillow Ball mounts, how much - will find out next spring at the track, but I imagine it's marginal and I am not racing (we say that 10x a day at HPDEs). The noise from Pillow Ball mounts is very subtle, but it is there when going slow like driving around a parking lot and going over a small bump, etc.
