i bought a scoot last fall and all the bogies and torsion springs in the rear suspension had been painted yellow at some point. The yellow is chipped and faded and I want to pull them out and sand blast & re-powdercoat. Short of pulling the whole engine/suspension assembly, what is the easiest way to unload the rear torsion springs so that I can get them out and then back in? Thanks in advance.

Since you are going to mess around and long track it anyway, you'll have the suspension out. Paint them then.

Just tear it apart. It's not that hard

I installed grease zerks on any pivot point that moved. I like watching grease ooze out knowing that I can force grease in and water out.
