i wanna get my elka springs powdercoated. how do i get the springs off the shocks themselves?

thanks

loosen the top preload nut all the way. then hold the bottom of the shock and push the bottom retainer up(compressing the spring a bit) and look for the notch on the bottom retainer and take it off the shock.
