Default How to remove Spring for Panzer III?

After playing with the Panzer III indoor for quite some time, I'm now finally ready to change the stock track into metal track and run it ourdoor. I know I need to change the 4 spring suspensions, but how should they be taken out? Every spring unit is secured by two screws and one allen nut.

Can anyone advise me? How should I remove to take out the spring? I hate to take out the wrong screws and ruin everything...[]

Your help is much appreciated!!!

BTW, Here's my Panzer III

I would remove the screw at the top of the shock tower and the allen bolt.

Those guys on the auction site like blueslateman in England have them and with reasonable shipping rates to North America to boot! I haven't had the time to install them yet.
