You're question leads me to believe that you should probably get help before attempting this repair... (and no, you don't have to "collapse" the spring)

Glad it worked out for you. Since you couldn't find a write up, maybe you could do one a post it for other users.

Did you take any pictures? Since there is no other post and you figured out how to do the repair.......now can you help the other org members by posting a DIY instruction?
Thanks
