Rear door lock

[MLBS3V12]

Hi there,


I've dismantle the lock to replate the parts from the rear door lock.
I need some help to put together again all the bits. It is the one where the cable is connected. The one which includes the quite big double spring.....
Here is the problem, this spring...

Does someone has a solution to keep it in place while the screws are placed and tight ?

I don't know if you have solved this problem already but having recently re-assembled my lock mechanism after zinc plating it is just a matter of keeping the coiled section of the springs hard against the inside of the casing whilst getting the 2 lever sections into place.
I also thought it was almost impossible but with a bit of perseverance it will go back.
