Wow excellent service! the springs arrived this morning  now need to find some time/space to get the frame up, fit some new springs and colourcode the poles too!
Preparation that is well worth the time it takes (and that's not that long to be honest).
As above I subscribe to the pull out broken spring with pliers, push remaining section down pole with screwdriver then fit new spring, school of thought.
Shame I never discovered the tool when I used to have frame tents. I used to fit the new springs entirely by which was always a little bit fiddly.
Always have a supply of springs (and the button springs as well), pegging rubbers, gaffer tape and tenacious tape in your box of spares.
