There should be no need to change spring pads unless the old ones have
disintegrated. Ride height is adjusted at the hydraulic control
valve. Our TE was very saggy when we got it. I put in new accumulators
and sway bar links and adjusted the ride height on the valve and it was
great after that.
You don't need any spring compressor for rear springs. Just jack up the
car and loosen the shocks (strut in the TD case) and the spring will fall
out. Assembly is the reverse.

I'd love to put in thicker spring pads to increase ride height.
