Hey I had some major bolt assembly issues last night and removed the spring from the extractor. It says not to remove the spring obviously. I notce one side of the spring is slightly larger then the other. Any idea which side of the spring sits in the extractor and which end goes up?

Big end goes in the dished portion of the extractor.  Pain to put in sometimes. I usually twist is slightly in the direction that would decrease the sping diameter while pushing it in.
