Yowie - take it easy there. That's got to be painful. I hope you heal quick 
and get some biking miles in.

I'm playing catch up here Garry, so sorry if this is old news (or obvious 
to some) but it took a "wee while", as they say in Scotland, for the guy 
fitting my spring to figure out how the spring came off the rear shock. 
Maybe your guys will know this, but the spring comes off over the top. If 
you compress from the top down, the preload unit slides down (once the tiny 
allen-grub-locating screw is removed) to reveal a ring clip holding that 
unit in place. Undo that clip, and ease off on the spring compressor and 
the whole preload unit eases off and the spring can be removed.

This might save you some head scratching when the time comes.

Cheers,

Stephen (Spud) McS.
