Gas Pedal Spring Removal ?

I got the correct bell crank assembly for my truck and the spring by the gas pedal needs to be replaced. I have a replacement, but what is the best to remove the old one and install the new?

There is no saving that spring, so you can work at it by unwinding it or using something like a small cutoff wheel to cut the coils parallel to the shaft.

Installation of the new one is kinda like threading it on.

Ok, I figured I would just pull it off, just wanted to be sure there wasn't a better way. So threading on the new one is best?
