Need new strut mounts - work for this weekend

I've noticed for months (maybe years) that my front suspension has kind of a rattle to it over bumps. I have tolerated it long enough, and in my quest for the quieter and quieter ride, will be replacing the mounts this weekend. For those who don't know what I am talking about, here is a link from the152.com:

The mounts cost about $20 each, so parts aren't the big deal. I will have to compress the springs however, and that takes some work with the spring compressor I have. Fun!
