Help pulling springs

OK this might be a stupid question. I'm going to a U-pull it junk yard for explorer spings, I can't take a torch or a generator in the yard. So what would be the easiest way to get all the springs off and what size wrenchs would I need? Thanks for any help on the easiest way to get these off
