[QUOTE="railroad, post: 14189612, member: 13485"] I removed my spring without any issues, other than being 6' and weighing 250 and trying to stand on my head. Some people are good at somethings and some are not. This was one of the things I could do and there are some I cannot, not faulting anyone. My point for replying is, if you do not want to risk disconnecting the switch and other issues, look into the spring removal procedure using needle nose vise grips to compress the spring, slide the spring seat out and then the spring. I have not done it this way, but the post was very good, done by a shop mechanic. I would advise, notching the inside edge of the visegrips jaws to hold the spring while it is compressed. I think I read where someone tried this and had some difficulty. I do not think he saw the need to for the notches or grinding the outside edge of the jaws to allow then to fit between the coils. I hope this gives you an option, without the risk of breaking any switches. You may have to search a little for the thread, it has been a while. good luck, [/QUOTE]
