You'll probably notice the spring your taking off has a similar thing going on i.e. has some level of bumpstop protection in the form of rubber around a few coils of the spring, so just go by that. I believe the rubber bit is at the bottom.
Yea its all a learning curve, many tasks seem alot more daunting than they actually are when you come to do them although saying that the fronts arnt a walk in the park but with spring clamps and a spare pair of hands it should be quite doable.
Also on the mk2 i had to invest in a 21mm? swan neck spanner to release the top mount not sure if the mk3 the same but i imagine it will be similar.
