I am going to help a buddy with his TN Johnson. The starter spring broke & he has the replacement. I searched the 'net but couldn't find any demos on how to install this without it accidently unraveling on us.

Any help will be appreciated.
 
Got it done.

1st try was a fail, tang came off & spring partially unwound.

On 2nd try, we used a putty knife to keep tang on during the assembly.

Definitely a 4-hand operation.

Now good as new!
