You have to push the heavy spring back, remove a circlip and the nose
spring will come off.
I have done this in a vice but it's not the correct tool for the job.
A valve spring compressor may work depending on the design or a really
big C clamp with a hole drilled one end. The clamp has to be large
enough to hold the whole starter from end to end.
It's an easy job if you can compress the spring.
