I refitted one yesterday without much trouble. Make sure the handbrake operating arm is fully back in the off position and then hook the end of the spring into the operating arm. Put a 10 mm socket on the bolt, push the spring across until the bolt lines up with the hole and then screw the bolt into the calliper.
