[Vwdiesel] Rebuilt IP / Engine Won't Start

[Erik Lane]

Yeah, that spring is really the only tough part about it all, other
than just putting things back on in the right order. There are three
different sets of lines that the groove in the top of the threaded
shaft can line up with. But you won't see them until you have a couple
things taken off. If I remember right the lines are in the first thing
that you put on the shaft... Note the position when you take it off to
make sure you only shift it one notch. As long as you take your time
it's not too bad. I usually grab that spring in a pair of vice grips,
but a still brake line sounds like it would work really well. I don't
happen to have any sitting around, but it might be worth getting to
avoid the hassle of that spring - it's pretty strong.
