To Todd and List. Putting the spring back in place is simple after you do it one time. Next to the knurled barrel that the spring resides in is a smooth stud about 1/8" in diameter,and 1/2" long, with a screw driver slot on the end. Unscrew it and then put the spring in the barrell and look at the 2 holes as one should be worn slightly from being used. If not just pick one, as It doesn't make much difference. Screw the big spring bolt back into the cage plate nut and when tight, twist the pulley cage counter-clock-wise one more half turn, then screw the 1/8" stud back in place as it is what holds your spring pressure in check. If it feels too tight or too floppy , then undo and move the spring to the other hole. I doubt you'll be able to tell any differance. Good luck.
