   You can get the spring on w/o any major disassembly, it's just a pain in
the butt. This spring broke on my '69, and the old guy where I work heated
the remainder of the spring up with a torch, bent a new hook on it, and
re-tempered it. I got an extra 18 months out of it, and now I'm looking for
a spring, too.
