    Rear step spring removal

    Doing some refurbishment on my 110
    have taken off the rather rusted back step

    want to dismantle it to clean and repaint
    does anyone know how I can get the very
    tight spring on the step off and back on ?

    Suggestion - get a number of suitable thickness bits of plywood, metal, or just about anything the right thickness to be a tight fit between the turns of the spring with it at its most extended. Then lower the step - the spring should just lift off. Taping the spacers in place might be a good idea.

    you are indeed a clever fellow …I would not have thought of that in a million years

    filled the spring with washers taped them in and off she came …..brilliant

    thanks a bunch
