In replacing it, you can still compress the spring with the needle nose but it is tricky because it slips along the curve. I use a small 4" "C" clamp mounted on a board and with the bridle off compress it and put the bridle back on. David

As I said in the 1st post I have done many LC's and others, never a Lefever. Thanks for all of the help. I was taking the springs out because the gown,a although in good condition really need a through cleaning. Jerry
