I used the trick of cutting a notch in a big adjustable wrench end. |

lots of pressure.
Remove the trunk lid. Use a long deep 10mm socket on a 6 inch extension. Slip the socket onto the end of the spring, unhook it and ease it back all the way to the end of the pocket. Then unbolt them both. Rich |
