Yup. And it’s been my experience that when using the spring spreader, when you think you have it extended far enough, you don’t. Keep going, hard as it may be, until you can slip both shackles in with little effort.
As far as replacing the spring, there are far fewer suppliers now that A-Springs has thrown in the towel. Eaton Detroit has springs, check with them on lead time. Do consider measuring up the spring and if it’s out of spec then maybe replace, maybe rebuild. You can disassemble, clean, paint (some of us use graphite paint) and reassemble.
