Default SPF Rear Suspension Bushing Removal?

Hi Kids:
I've got a Superformance with a very squeaky rear suspension. The noise is coming from the bushings. I have tried everything possible to quiet them down but I just can't get any lubricant to go between the bushings and the metal. I have decided to take the rear suspension apart in order to get a coating of lubricant on the bushings. The problem is I'm not sure what's involved!

Do I need spring compressors or will the springs be relaxed when the car is jacked up? What is the best lubricant? Will I be able to reinstall the bushings once I get them out? What other gremlins might be out there waiting for me?

If you can offer any help (including "go to a trained professional") it would be greatly appreciated.

Bob
