    On the track adjusters you should be able to replace seals without having to worry about the spring. You want to relieve all the pressure and will have to take the track off if the piston seals are leaking. May need to put a pin in the sprocket and back up to retract the adjuster. It's common to reseal/rebuild the track adjusters when replacing the tracks. The spring isn't what keeps the tracks tight.
