just undo it
swap the spindle
rebuilding is a reversal of stripping

just put the parts you take off in a line.
then change the spindle.
and put the parts back on in reverse to how you took em off.

Take the Acorn nut off the end
Take the normal nut off
Take the washer off
Take the front arm off
Take the washer off
Take the rear arm off
Take the washer off
Take the spring out
Put new spring in new Spindle
Put washer on
Put rear arm on
Put washer on
Put front arm on
Put washer on
Put flat nut on and nip up so there is no play and arms move freely
Hold back nut in place with a spanner and Nip up the Acorn nut against it

Maybe the water was not hot enough to desolve the salt?
