That isn't necessary. Once you remove the shock link and lower the
axle/trailing arm assembly, if you can't just pull out the spring, rotate the
rear axle until it falls into a "low spot". When that happens, the assembly
drops a little bit more, and it is enough to just reach in and remove the
spring.
