Rear spring removal

[Gaz w]

I seem to be struggling to get the rear springs of the escos , ive removed the shocks and everything is freely moving but cant seem to get the spring out , is there anything else I need to remove to work the spring free of the car?

Thanks

You have to take off drive shaft only loosen one side off fully so its hanging there. I just done this few months ago no other way I'm afraid

Cheers , thought I might have to take out driveshaft , I assume I take it out the hub end ?

Yes hub end on p.side and diff on d.side, that's what I did

try just splitting the drive shafts on the cv joints where the torx bolts are as its easier then taking them out the hubs.
