Default Replacing the clutch spring

I've seen alot of posts about the spring breaking, but nothing on the replacement of it. Anyone have a write up on how to replace the little booger?

Also if everyone is breaking these things, is there some sort of setting for it, or a stronger spring?

I know some please say I dont need it, and I'll agree, I've been driving the car a year now with no spring and it's fine, but I just drove my buddies Hawk and it makes the pedal feel a hole lot nicer.

Don't bother to replace it, I've gone through 3. They're just dead weight anyway.
