1) Grab medium/large flathead screwdriver

2) Grab hammer

3)  Gently tap in one side of the spring (this will take a few tries and some finesse, but you'll get it)

4) Tap in other side

5) Make sure the spring is all the way in.  The two prongs on the bottom should fit really neatly into the baseplate when you're done.

6) Shralp.
