I have purchased new door springs to install on my 1978 vette. The instructions are clear enough on how to install the new springs but does not have any information on how to remove the old ones!

Can anyone give me a little help or an idea on how to remove the old springs?

It appears that the easiest way would be to cut them out with a saw but I do not want to damage my car  in any way.

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

John Grant
