Step 6:

Step 7:
press the large pin into the hole shown (might be possible to do this from the outside inwards - Its been a while since I did this)
You need to make sure that it fits into the large arm in the kit as shown.

Step 8:
assemble the spring onto the end of the large arm. you should probably use sticky tape to secure the spring to the arm while you hook the other end on the the spring retainer you assmbled in step 6.
once you have the spring secured you may tighten the screw on top of the retainer assembly to tension the spring.

Step 9:

That's great. Thanks Mart. I'll have a go at this tomorrow. Now where did I put those two stick centering kits?
