DISASSEMBLY
1. Clamp the spring assembly firmly in a vise.
2. Slide the flotation spring wrench onto the spring,
1, with the metal nib facing out. Use the metal nib
to catch the end of the spring coil, and rotate the
tool clockwise. This expands the spring
diameter.
CAUTION
Use the proper tool to rotate the spring coil. The
spring is powerful and using unreliable tools
could result in personal injury.

spring wrench, use a large wrench to screw the
spring nut out of the spring, 2.
NOTE: Spray the ends of the spring around with
spring nuts with penetrating oil to ease disassembly.
4. Reverse the spring in the vise and repeat the
process with the other end.
