I'm pretty sure you don't even need a jack under the spring pan, as long as
the rebound stop is in good shape. The suspension travels freely down to
where the bracket under the shock hits the rebound stop, then all of the
spring force is on the stop. I've changed the upper bushings on my TR3A
many times this way.
Even if the spring "wanted" to move, it can't go anywhere because it is
still trapped by the shock absorber through the middle of it.
