Default Rear coil spring replacement

I have a broken rear steel coil spring. Does anyone have a DIY or copy of the workshop manual procedure on how to replace? I need torque values for the suspension components as well.

Trying to get back onto Porsche TSI website to download the manual but they appear to have changed it and it looks much more difficult.

Thanks in advance.

I actually found the answer. For once, I downloaded one of these online workshop manuals and it actually contained the information that I required. No torque values necessary because no bolts have to be undone if your car has steel springs. I just need the right coil compressor now. Most of them won’t work because you have to pass the coil compressor up through the hole in the wishbone. I hope this helps somebody.

Hi, was this on a Panamera? I'm doing my rear springs this weekend and currently looking for a workshop manual. I don't suppose you still have the one you found that you wouldn't mind uploading do you?

Many thanks
Luke.

Alldata is available for a single vehicle for $30 a month. Lots of good info there, and if you're doing it on the cheap you can always print out torque specs and retain them.
