WOW! Took three guys to get the spring out??? Man all it took for me 
was a floor jack, a spring compressor set and a prayer. Not as hard 
as I thought, it's the fear that the spring lets go and knocks my 
head off is what made me do it S-L-O-W-L-Y and why I would probably 
NOT do it again (hopefully will never have to either).
