Trying to reseat the new standard spring is a nightmare, I can’t get it aligned properly at all. The bottom tip just pops out from the notch in the seat when I start to jack up the control arm.

Any help or advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
internal spring compresser is the way . buy em use em sell em there is always someone abt to do the same job .. no point struggleing to save a few quid beware springs can be deadly .work slowly and carefullythere are some youtube vids on how to use them.
