Does anyone have a simple method of removing this spring. I’m hesitant to pry it off due to its stored energy. Pry bar? Also, getting the new lower tension springs on looks interesting!

Big vise grips or channel locks, pinch spring @2 and 7 o clock in the pic and gently pull.
There was a post about it.
I would remove the hinge and chuck it into a vice.
In the open or closed position,(dont remember which) the spring does not have as much tension.
Also the spring is not preloaded when put on.

Not easy to remove and reload from what I heard.
This hinge restoration guy I spoke to said he breaks a finger nail on just about every Mopar coil hinge he re assembles.
