BEN,

FIRST OF ALL BE CAREFUL !! That thing can come out like a "LARGE" bullet.

You need a "PICKLE FORK" It goes between the ball joint and the lower "A" frame, then you smack the pickle fork with a hammer and they wiil seperate.

Run a length of chain through the upper A frame through the coil and through the lower A frame, HOOKING IT BACK TO ITSELF. keeping the chain relatively loose and a jack (or something) under the lower A frame, jack the crossmember up relieving the coil pressure off of the a frames when the coil is no longer under any stress remove the chain and coil.
