This year, for a change, I've finally gotten around to giving my bicycle
a thorough tuneup before I begin riding.  I've decided that I would like to
remove the idler pulleys (I think they're called jockey wheels) from the
rear derailleur (Suntour VGT) so that I could clean and lubricate them.
The lower pulley is simple; just remove the bolt and it drops right out.
Does anyone know how to remove the upper pulley?  This pulley is concentric
with the derailleur tensioning spring and I'm afraid to start disassembling
it without knowing how it should be done -- I can envision this tightly
wound coil spring unravelling all over the place and, worse yet, not
being able to reassemble it.  If anyone has ever disassembled one of
these (successfully, I might add!) I'd sure appreciate some advice.  Thanks.
