Takedown lever spring PITA!

So what's the correct procedure for this? I tried to install one a while back, but it wouldn't go in and I didn't want to force it, so it's still on my to-do list. It felt like the lever was coming to a dead stop against the end of the spring, so should it be seated deep down in the hole before you insert the lever, or is it better to let the lever push it down as you're installing it?
