A very large and powerful spring!
Citrojim can advise but I believe you need a rather large bench vice to safely disassemble it by carefully unwinding the tension of the spring.

Re: Hydraulic pressure regulator - refurb of seals
i used my valve spring compressor ( http://tinyurl.com/m6w7cof" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) clamped in my vice to compress the end cap/bung so i could remove the snap ring/circlip,
i placed a small square steel plate ( around 2" X 2" square ) across the sphere opening and a long 7mm ( 11mm spanner size ) bolt in the tail/bung end were the tail end mounting bolt fits,
then clamp/compress the hole thing in my spring compressor
