Theres no need to go through all that, the hinge point in the center of the linkage is easy to deal with. Its very simple to do especially if you are dealing with the lights themselves. You more likely to get hurt or break something reaching up under there and trying to get those springs off. Thats like saying to replace your tires you should roll the car onto its roof.
People really shouldnt be going by the Haines manuals anymore. They havent been a good source of info since the 70's
