If you want to skip the video, the trick here is to put the spring in a tube to prevent it from buckling while you are pressing it into place.
I have found very useful posts here before (for example, the correct pins to solder up a PS/2 cable rather than spending $20+ on an SDL cable), and when this method worked so easily for me, I thought maybe somebody here might find it useful too.

A few years ago there was another variant that, as I vaguely remember, used the shaft of a 1/4" pop rivet.
There really should be a place marker for these things.

Great idea. I like it. :thumb: Something like this would have saved me a lot of time trying to get all of the flippers on my new F77 to function. I wonder if Ellipse should consider adding this to his documentation.
