Does anyone have a guide to swapping standard springs for 30mm lowering springs ?

Attempted spring change yesterday

Everything came apart fine apart from I couldnt get the bottom of the strut out of the clamp

Have I missed something obvious ???

take bolts out of clamp and drive a chisel into the gap just enough to release it
