how do i get the springs off?

[tants]

i wanna get my elka springs powdercoated. how do i get the springs off the shocks themselves?

thanks

[beerock]

loosen the top preload nut all the way. then hold the bottom of the shock and push the bottom retainer up(compressing the spring a bit) and look for the notch on the bottom retainer and take it off the shock.
