Do you have the new spring or have you bent the old one ? The new spring must be fitted with the correct side down ie so it rewinds the right way. Warm the end of the cord so it threads nicely. Fit it all together and wind it right up and then off a turn. Poke the cord throught the hole and tie a nice tight knot.

This is a pain but it is just a matter of winding it up the correct way and holding in place whilst refitting.

Trial and error.
