take down spring

I recieved the take down spring, and started to install it.
When the right side of the spring was in the deepest part of the slot, I needed to tap down the left side. I tapped and half the spring broke off. I had to keep tapping the left side, I used a punch and lightly tapped. I got it to go down into the slot and enough sticks up to make the take down lever move with some friction so as to keep it in place. Has any one had a cheap take down spring before?
It did not act like spring steel, I did not tap on it very hard, It will work, it is just not a perfect install.
Your thought wanted. thanks
