Installing a spring with less tension would be the logical way to reduce the pressure. Shortening a spring doesn't reduce its strength- - - - -if anything, it would increase the tension. Someone would need to find a spring approximately the same free length as original, with smaller diameter coil wire for less push. Jerry
