You will need to compress the spring (a couple of good heavy duty cable ties will do that) and then lift the spring seat up. Underneath the seat is a circlip. Remove the circlip, drop the seat out, and then the spring can be removed.
The diagrams in the Online Parts Manual will often guide you how to assemble/disassemble components - it's just a case of being a little more resourceful!!
