Ensure the spring is secure by giving it a light tug.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 7</b>:<br />
Now, carefully take the other end of the spring, and [using your needle nose pliers] lightly sqeeze the terminating loop to make it a small oval.  Ideally, the size of the oval will be just big enough to fit over the little bump on the lower drive cone (where the original spring was attached).
<br /><br />
<b>Step 8</b>:<br />
<a href="images/spring_dried_highres.jpg"><img src="images/spring_dried.jpg" alt="Click for a high-res image"></a><br />
Place the now oval end of the spring over the little bump on the lower drivecone and put a little bit of crazy glue over the top.  Give it at least 30 minutes to dry properly.
