Since that was at disassembly, I had to go through it again to get it back together. Spronnggg! and my homemade spreader provided minimal (none?)resistance to the force of the spring. I had made it of 3/4", sched. 40 water pipe and 3/4-10 threaded rod. I used my backhoe to reassemble and your block of wood with some grease for the knuckle to slide on. It's all there in the pics! Enjoy!
