You have to take the whole strut assembly off (shock and spring). Then with a spring compressor on the coil spring, take the top nut off the strut shaft and take the spring off. Once the spring is off the whole strut assembly is replaced which will contain a new shock. Then you already have the spring compressed, so you put the old spring on to new strut (shock) put the top back on, release the spring and tighten the nut. You have to have a vise to clamp the strut into to replace the strut body.
the return spring on the clutch pedal assembly must be replaced.
AnswerWhy not get the whole assembly at a salvage yard?

Unscrew the end cap on the stock fore-end. slide out the barrel. slide off the fore arm. punch out the two pins holding the trigger assembly. slide out the trigger assembly. remove the charging handle by pulling out as it is only held by a detent spring and ball. push in on the end of the tube opposite the stock end until the detent on the rails matches up to the small cutout on the tube. pull up on the rail and that releases the gas tube assembly and spring. press in on the spring plate that the bolt assembly runs into as your sliding it out of the receiver and the bolt and rail assembly will slide out. clean and reassemble. No lube in the gas tube area.
