Hi Guys,

Thanks for messages etc. I figured out how to do it.

I jacked up the swing arm as high as it would go, compressing the rear spring in place in the car. Then I got some chain and a couple of shackles, and chained the spring together in it's compressed state.

I then removed the top plug from the spring from inside the boot (from above)...

Then dropped the swingarm away, and the spring was free! Took the spring off the car, then compressed again with spring compressor, off the car; undid the chain and shackles, and undid the spring compressors.

All good. Airbags are in. Coilovers are in. Adjustment etc tomorrow..
Cheers,
Scott
