XHERALD man,

I can't offer any advise regarding the steering stop lock, when I rebuilt my
front end I didn't worry about it too much.  As far as removing the springs
go's, the long threaded rod is the safest method.  The only other almost safe
method is as follows:
1.  Put the car up on jack stands. 
2.  Place a jack under the lower A-frame plate and jack up that side to
compress the spring.  You might use a piece of 2 x 4 as a pad.
3.  Un-bolt the A-frame plate, and slowly lower the jack.  It is best to wear
a crash helmet and flack jacket when doing this (just kidding).
4.  When the tension is released from the spring, it is safe to remove.

This is how I did it.  In retrospect, I should have gotten the threaded rod,
it's safer.
