Hello Dave, great pics and explanation as usual. If I knew how to add photos I would but anyway, I used 3 x 3/4" cargo webbing straps on my springs, inserted with the axle extended then jacked it up to compress it and tightened the straps up, undo everything and let the axle down again, spring should now be short enough for removal and refitting. Also, when fitting the bushes they were TIGHT (even after several hours in the freezer). I used 16mm stud bar with a specially turned bush, plenty of lubrication on the threads and it was still good excercise!
Regards
