I did this job yesterday.

I tried to add comments to Wayne's write-up (no go)

Anyway...

To make the removal and installation easier note that the socket-ends of the spring have a band-spring detents.
Each detent can be pushed/slid two an open condition, making easy work of getting the socket-end on or off of the ball mount.

Showing pushed to an open position... (band not aligned in recess)




This 'trick' should save a lot of swearing and tool throwing and pry-marks.
