Hi. Yes, you have to compress the spring in order to replace the strut top mount.
Best Regards,

Do you have to compress the spring if you only need to replace the strut mount?

you don’t have to compress the rear spring at all. Just remove the lower bolt of teh rear shock absorber then you will have enough space to pu the new spring in.
After that with a hydraulic jack you can lift up the rear axle to bolt the rear shock back.
