Thanks for all the help, cheers, Ian

did you try my suggestion?
For springs compressors i recently bought some with the safety pins, made a big difference to anxiety levels when changing shocks on my old car - i would suggest getting some of them. Plenty of penetrating oil, a big bar/impact and you wont go far wrong.
