Yes the spring should be woud up a little. About three quarter of a turn.put the spring in the
holes, one in the grey plastic cover and the one in the front of the lever. now turn the cover under
slight preasure, so the spring can't leave the holes until it''s in upright position and fit the
square iron bit.The hard part is. Find out how the spring should be. (two choises) finding out witch
holes to use (two choises) turnning the cover whitout teh spring leaving the holes turning the cover
in upright position with the cover hole slipping over the square iron bit before being upright
Good luck, It can be don, but not at ones, just keep trying (sorry for my poor english, i'm dutch.)
