Showa rear spring
 

Can anybody advise how to remove the spring from a rear Showa.Cant compress the spring far enough to remove the seat,whats the correct way?:puzzled:

I used a couple of spring compressors I made years ago to remove the springs from my VW Golf GTI

Thanks,I made a pair up in the end,the set I had for car springs were too big to fit over spring without hitting strut.Be easier if designed with collets!.
