My easy way to fit the spring, (the same way as fitting springs on truck brake shoe mounts) is to use the largest star (phillips) srewdriver.
The star part of the screwdriver will grip the spring retainer, so place the hook of the spring on the shank of the tool & lever the spring down over mount. A true believer of the K.I.S.S. theory
