I think I'm just going to have my oil changed by a local shop w/a lift. It's just easier and he's trust worthy.

The springs were swapped by a local shop. I don't have a vise and $25 at a local shop
is cheaper than buying vise.

The alternative is to remove them and redo the strut/spring install off the vehicle.

Edit- Do you have the top hat located in the proper location in relation to the strut tower? It's just the bottom of the strut that is out, I assume?

I assume I need to have it redone. If the top hat Is in proper location the bottom is out and vice versa

You don't need a vise. too late now, but you crack loose the piston shaft nut while on the car.
Spring compressors are cheap to get too.. highly recommend having a set.
