Angle grinder to get the old one off. Put kettle on.
Compress new one in a vice. Put a few zip ties round it. Pop it on. Snip zip ties. Make cup of tea.

Where sells the new springs? I have a 180 spring - what exactly does this mean, rider weight?

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.
I weigh 205lbs but always solo ride , is my 180 ok or should I be upgrading? Only ever rode with standard springs before.
