all it takes is a friend with a compressor, an air tool with an abrasive cutoff
wheel, and about 15 mins of work.
but, you should probably spend about 30-60 mins measuring and marking and
double checking your work. i used a laser measuring tool to help determine
and pinpoint the vertical drop of 1" and where on the coil the cut should be.
secure the spring in a large vice and carefully and firmly cut. keep heat
build up to a minimum
