Slide the new torsion spring onto the shaft, ensuring the stationary cone faces the center bracket and the winding cone faces outward towards the end bearing. Reinstall the right side drum, aligning the previously made marks on the drum and shaft. Hand-tighten the two set screws on the drum, ensuring they fall into the indentations created by the old set screws. Then, tighten them an additional half-turn past hand-tight with a wrench.
