spring locating pin

Just removed my front right spring on the 40. Had a broken locating pin. Now i've got it off i can see the pin is diagonally lodged down the spring pack. It seems the spring plate has hit something and pushed the axle back and broken the pin and pushed the lower leaves back.

Should i pull apart the spring pack myself and get a new pin and bung it in? Or is it more serious and should i take it to a shop to get the spring reset?

yeah i worked it all out now.

the holes the head of the bolt and nut sit in have taken a beating but should still be fine.
