Could be a couple of things.

First, try squirting a bit of Graphite powder between the springs. Ramp her up to get a bit of flex, which'll seperate the springs a little on one side at a time and aloow you to do this.

If that doesn't work, try some motorcycle chain lube around your shackle bushes. Or better yet, try replacing your shackle bushes.

Don't forget things like shock absorber bushes, these could be worn or need greasing (these were the cause of squeeking in mine)
