Let's know how you get on.... I imagine a replacement spring, or set of them, may be worth considering.

Hey Anji, Any chance to post pictures of the offender, in all guises,before and when you get it apart I'd be interested in the spring specs (#coils,wire size,O.D.,free length) to compare with what Peter gave me a while back-thanks again Pete!

[Dutch]

Hey Anji I had another think(because I've been playing with my units) that I wonder if because the springs expand as they compress, are larger O.D. than they should be and have stretched the inner shroud so that it has blown out and engaged the outer?? I know that even though these units are simple, it's necessary to think backwards,sideways and upside-down at the same time to understand them fully. I  lost track of my shrouds long ago, and have lately been creating 'internal dust covers' and exposed springs. cheers duTch
