MS251C gone hard to pull over

They wear where they hook round the clutch shoes, leaving thin spots on the springs, the tension comes off as the springs become coilbound. 
Very common on well used 200T

The coils sit close together when the springs are slack. You need a bit of air between the coils to show that they are pulling on the shoes. If you take the clutch off, those shoes will be looser than they should! 

It takes minutes and very few£££ to change them.....you know it makes sense!
