you need spring clamps to compress spring ,if you had undone the nut on the top you wouldn't off had a face mate.

compress spring and the nut will be easier to undo :smiley:

drive it to a garage and ask nicely for them to zap it off and then back on loosly,  if its not to far, keep the bolts loose!  if your local garage is a few miles away bang them back up with the air gun, either way it will be easyer when you come to undo it
