How do you release the existing spring ?

Delighted with the website, so easy to find the required part, and delivery was very quick. Now for the tricky bit ... Is there an easy way to dis-assemble the existing assembly, in particular the spring. I don't want to end up damaging the plastic lips which hold the spring in place.

  • File a point on the end of the pin to make it go in easily. By Pere - Wirral - 21 September 2016
  • You need to find a thin screwdriver (or similar) to push out the retaining pin which holds everything in place. If you hold all the parts as you push out the pin, it should come out almost in one piece. Try covering the assembly with Duck Tape to stop it all falling out unexpectedly - it worked for me!

  • VERY carefully with smallish screw-driver lever away the bottom leg from lip. This then releases pressure on holding rod. Push up rod from bottom.Simples. The tricky bit is re-assembly. Unless you have 3 hands tackle one stage at a time. Have plenty of cups of tea By jonno - Mid Kent - 17 August 2009
