Good luck
Let us know how you get on !

Im not saying my method is approved at all, but i just dropped the shock absorber bolt, and the drop link, then basically just levered the spring out with a crow bar. Pretty easy i found. A bit harder prying the new one back in, because its longer than the broken one, but it went soon enough.
