Modify and Prepare the Replacement Spring

What happens here

Locate a suitable replacement spring. The presenter used a spring from an 'Ace Faucet Repair' kit, noting that one of the original springs was missing. If the new spring is too long or too tightly coiled, use a pair of pliers, such as Knipex pliers, to gently stretch and modify the spring. The goal is to make the spring slightly longer and less compressed, ensuring it can fit around the stopper's central shaft and exert enough upward force to keep the stopper open.

Goal: Obtain and adjust a spring to properly fit and function within the sink stopper.
