So I had to take mine apart in order to get to the bolt holding the top of the support bracket. I have it back in, but for the life of me I cannot figure out where to secure the large thick spring to. Obviously the left side would go on the notch in the pivoting latch, but where does the right side of the spring go? I feel kinda stupid for asking, but I've been messing with this spring for 20 minutes and I give up! ::hang::

Maxburn, it's hard to tell where the spring is attached to in your pics.

gats, your latch doesn't even look completely the same as mine. You have the release cable coming in from the left. Mine is coming in from the right. Perhaps I have it hooked up wrong, but either way, I still can't figure it out even with the pics provided. Here's what I'm working with. Maybe some can circle where I need to put the spring.

Finally got it figured out. I had to remove the latch in order to install the spring. Not possible with the latch installed. Thanks for the pics.
