[Jack Bentley]

Hello Bruce,

This worked for me:

Place the spring on a sturdy work bench and extend it with a come-a-long. Cut a
number of small wooden blocks and place these in the open spaces of the extended
spring and then let the pressure off the spring. It will collapse to an
extended length. Reinstall the spring on the jack. When you then extend the
jack all the way down the blocks are easily removed.

This procedure takes some practice but did work. Be sure the spring is
installed as to counter the sideways force of it's partner spring or the jack
will be twisted.

Good luck,

Jack
