Has anyone done this? Mine has taken a bit of a beating over the winter, what with salt on the roads and stuff, so it could do with a Hammerite birthday. THing is, the springs holding it look like a ###!
Anyone with any good tricks for pain free removal and replacement? The manual just says to get someone else to hold up the bike while it happens.

It's easy enough if you invest in a spring puller, just do one at a time. Just buy a decent one, I had a cheap one and it snapped. I then got a Beta one, like this;

One tip i learned on how to extend the spring when I was fitting a centre stand to my other bike was to bend it with your fingers so that the coils open up and then insert coins ( I used 2p's) into the gaps between the coils. That just stretched the spring enough for me to hook it round the locating tabs and fit the stand.
