Can you split CG125 shocks?

[MarkJ]

Hi, the rear shock absorber springs have had the paint flake off them on my CG125. They function fine but look a bit crap. As they function fine I'd like to just get the springs off and paint them, however I can't find out if this is possible. When I turn the ends by hand they just rotate and don't unscrew. Does anyone know if you can get the springs off the shocks?

It's a 2001

Cheers

Sorry I didn't get time to check yesterday. Mine measures 110 x 65 x 103, which looks to be about right for that Powerline one
