lou it is really easy, first remove the springs, they are tight but can be done easy. than you just remove the bolts and drop the can

i highly recommend using liquid wrench first.

in second thought! the spring is integrated on the bolt! the bolt goes right through the spring! still need help?

Relax. .!!

once you get to the end of the threads there will be no pressure on the springs. As mentioned use liquid wrenc, WD40 or such to make it a smooth operation and keep from stripping anything out...:thumbup:

The spring tension is not loading it is to allow pipes flex without allowing them to gain spacing no chance in harming yourself. Proceed...
