You might try a pin punch thru this hole to help keep the spring compressed enough to start the rod end.<< Scott: My problem was trying to compress the spring before using a punch through the hole to hold it. While trying to use a spring compression tool I built (it didn't work) it dawned on me that if I put the spring in place and put a punch through the hole, I could turn the spring and screw it into compression until the loose end cleared the end of the shaft. The rest of the assembly was easy. Duh!! Charles --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Utahweb]
