[Healeys] Spring - BJ8 Gearbox

[Mike S]

Clever.  I use a similar technique to reassemble the cluster on a 
derailleur.  Wrap a string around the springs, and then slide it out.

I have replaced several in the past but cannot remember having such difficulty with it. It seems that the last "ring" of the spring is too large and it does not want to go in its place to fit the washer. Consequently I cannot even think of fitting the circlip into its groove.
