shock/spring tower housing

Does the spring have to be compressed to remove?

Technically no- but unless you want the unpredictability of a coil spring potentially knocking your teeth out, you're better off to compress it.

You should be able to rent one from your local parts store- I know O'Reilly has them for about $35.

Probobly easy to get out, but to put it back in, without the compressing tool, that's another story. I can rent one somewhere.
