Installing the spring is easy in theory, but don't underestimate the oomph needed to get the lever into place. The spring will be constantly forcing the shaft's axis off-center, and this must be overcome for most of its jurney. One member wrestled with his for quite a while, IIRC, a utility sink was involved as his sturdy, finish-friendly thing against which to push... Once accomplished, you'll have seen how it goes, and there's a next one, it will be much easier.
