Tom,
The spring fits over the inside door handle stem that is riveted to the door strut. Look for two stop positions, one on the rotating portion of the stem, and the other on the strut. The spring has bends on each end that will catch on the two door parts. After several attempts and personally questioning your intelligence it will miraculously come to you. At least that is how it worked for me as the remnants of the springs were laying on the bottom of the door as well. Just try every combination. I don't have access to my image files right now, but I will look to see if I saved an image if you have problems. Good luck.
The spring really makes the difference in operability, you will be happy with it.
Paul
