How do you remove the spring?...Thats where I'm trying to be careful. Does the lever guide pin come out allowing the brake/spring to slide out rearward ?
Yes. The lever pin keeps the plunger from coming out. It needs to be removed. While you're at it, be sure the little roller on the underside of the plunger can turn free. This makes for a nice, smooth motion as the roller rolls over the lever's cam surface, as opposed to dragging across it, as many bullet brakes do because corrosion has the roller locked up.
