Remove spring from RB300


How "easy" is it to remove the spring from the RB 300 arm? Is it something a "Newbie" can do with a little mechanical apptitude?

Yes, I know about defeating the spring by setting to 3, but the spring is still in there, and it resonates. Some people do take it out, but I don't know how much better it gets when you do this, and I've never done it.
Sorry- I had it reversed.I said to set it at 0.
I would say,Tom is probably right.The spring will most likely resonate no matter what the setting.
It has been a long time, and I apologize for the late responce, and also appreciate you thinking to e-mail me with your question. I have not been on the site for months and I have just recently re-activated my e-mail account-I'm surprised to see I still exist in cyberspace.
That's a whole different subject, and back to the audiophile expereince (something else I have neglected), I am here now and will be answering my emails and threads. Since it has been so long, I am not sure if you have removed your spring, but if you are still interested, I have my rb-300 off of my table presently and would be happy to get into it again if you like.
Why not sell the RB300 and purchase the RB250 which is a much better arm to mod.A simple weight mod that anyone can do and you have an arm that will better both the RB300 and the RB600.There are 2 bearings on the RB250 not just one with a resonating bias adjuster replacing a bearing on one side as on the RB300.The RB250 also has a brass stem as opposed to a steel one on the RB300.If you want to go the upgrade path the RB250 is easy to obtain and ultimately the much superior arm
