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
