Springs don't fly everywhere. Tear it down as the manual states, and keep the components together. There are only two major components initially. The sector shaft and the piston/worm assy. The piston is the only thing that comes apart as it is separated from the worm assy. Stand the thing up, and disassemble one piece at a time laying it out on a large work space in the same config. as you took it off. It will look like an exploded diagram if yo do it that way. You'll figure it out. Take your time.
