It's a lot easier than you'd think, loosen both sides first then just take one bolt off and move the stand, then the spring will compress so you can easily undo the other side.
When refitting, put one bolt in then you'll be able to pull the other side into position with the spring still attached.

Thanks for the tips Darrsi!
I have a 'new' one sat outside that I need to fit to my bike. I sprayed it with black hammerite and it looks really good. The one currently on my bike is in good condition, but the arm with the rubber bung on has gone missing. It's a job I've been putting off as it will involve laying on the floor and messing with springs, on a bike parked on the street.
