OH snap I forgot to tell you the HOW and help you out that way.

Next time... lol.... compress the spring with a jack under the control arm then wrap a metal coat hanger around it to keep it compressed. That way you can undo the Bolt keeping everything together without there being to much tension. Then you undo the hanger and let the spring uncompress. Once you've cut the spring is should fit back into the Hats without needing to be compressed.

Berz out.
