Lingenfelter Clutch Return Spring

Sorry if I picked the wrong section to post this in, wasn't sure where else it might fit.

I know some folks on here have installed the clutch return spring that Lingenfelter makes, I was curious if anyone had any tips to get the spring mounted into the bracket behind the OBD port. I fussed and fought with it a little earlier and just couldn't get it to mount for the life of me.

I installed it, I don't have any tips but it fought me as well and finally I did get it.

Dang. I appreciate the reply, glad to know I'm not alone in it fighting me at least. I kept seeing everyone say how easy it was and I can't see how. I'll have to get after it again tomorrow. I kept pushing and it'll kinda catch on the edge of the hole, but then it just won't give any to actually go through.

I installed it a couple years ago, I may have bent the hook part of the spring a little to make it go In Easier, I don't exactly remember. I know I thought bit was going to be easy and it wasn't.

I've definitely had the same experience. I've done things that should've been a lot harder, but this is the one that's kicking my hind end. I thought about giving it a slight bend, might end up having to actually do that. Crazy this little thing is giving me this kind of fits.

I had to bend one end of the spring also, could not get it on otherwise!

Ok, sounds like I'm not the only one who's had trouble then, I'll definitely trying giving it a little bend. Thanks!
