Mark, I haven't done the front shocks on a synchro, but I did rent some spring compressors to work on the front end of a Fiat once. Beware! Avoid getting the cheap compressors that have aluminum parts. I galled a rented set of those to the point where I almost couldn't release them from the compressed springs. If you can't find anything but aluminum compressors lube the threads up good with something like molybdinum grease that can withstand pressure.
