If it's worth the hassle to. Reshape the spring, I can picture wrapping it around a ceramic rod spiraling. Then using 3 propane torches. Attached to point toward the assembly from 120 degrees apart gradually move them from one end of the assembly to the other, slowly enough to get the metal cherry red, while quenching the red end in water or oil.
You'll probably have to borrow a torch or two, and perhaps wood could be used instead of ceramic if there's enough water to put out the flames. 8-) Sent from my Kyocera Rise ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
