Strut Spring Seat & Washer Stuck To Coil Spring 900 1993

My strut rebuild has gone well so far. Using three of the rod type spring compressors the spring compression went safely and felt stable and secure...so far.

Now I am trying to remove the spring seat and washer from the top of the coil and they are stuck, one to the other, and the washer to the top coil.

I have tried gently prying with screw drivers but admit that it is making me nervous prying on a compressed coil spring. Any suggestions?

This is holding me up big time and I am worried about damaging the spring from leaving it compressed for too long. Should I decompress the spring to get the thing off?

Thanks
