The manual says NOT to disassemble the spring unless it is broken. Even then, you need to have the spool out and clamp it in a vice to un-do the bolt holding the spring on, this is all under pressure, don't mess with it unless you have a broken spring, they are a horrible thing to re-attach. You have to fight the pressure of the spring and turn a bolt at the same time.I think goodtech was refering to the fact you need to remove the linkages from the front to pull it out the back, make sure you give it all a good clean before you pull it through, you don't need dirt inside the spool acting as sand paper. It also wouldn't hurt to mark the top and bottom, so you know what way to put it back in. This is not critical, but it wouldn't hurt.Also, when you do remove the spool, change the 2 O rings, one on the front, one on the back, you don't want any leekage because you disturbed the seals. I know, they are really hard to get to but if you can get to them without toooo much effort do change them.As for oil, unfortunatly you will get alot of oil pouring out, it doesn't come out that fast, but you will loose quite a bit!, goodtech may know how to slow it down a bit.</blockquote>
