Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Rear spring removal (2 Litre).

I'm contemplating removing the rear leafsprings from my 2 litre. However, the handbook instructions do not make sense. They say that you should support the chassis and then remove the front pivot bolts from the springs. But because the chassis is underslung, the axle is pressed against the chassis with 5 inches of spring deflection waiting to be released.
If one releases the axle from the springs first instead, the rear underpan prevents you from allowing the springs to relax.
Has anybody here performed this spring removal?
