How do I replace door springs on DW915 Dishwasher ?

How do I replace the door springs on a Zanussi DW915 Dishwasher ?
How do I access the springs - from the bottom of the machine carcase ? and through the door ?
Are there any seals to be aware of or can be damaged?
Is it a fairly straightforward operation ?
Can you suggest a repair manual available on the web ?

you can't get springs as a spare part you have to buy complete hinges.I remove the springs from the new hinges and fit them to the old hinges on the dishwasher as this is the easiest way.tip dishwasher on its back and you can get limited access to spring mounting points from underneath.not the easiest of jobs to do because there is no room to get in easy but with a little dexterity it can be done.
