1. Used a flat head screwdriver to remove the old bail arm (easy)
2. Stare in terror as the spring shot across the room and as a tiny white plastic piece and a tiny S shaped metal piece fell out out
3. Try to figure out where the tiny pieces go
4. Try to get the spring to quit shooting across the room every time I try to re-assemble
5. Get a tiny set of specialized tools off my shelf to finally make it work (hard)

Do not attempt unless you have great eye site or a magnifying glass, and be warned of an excitable spring.
