Is The Spring Keeper Needed For Installation Of The Demco Composite eZ-Latch Replacement Repair Kit?
Question:
According to your instructions I do not require the spring holder. I have tried for 2 hours to install the spring. I cannot seem to keep the spring in place between the roof of the holder and keep it there while I get the ball holder post in line with the final wedge so I can tighten the screw. It’s been a pain. Any suggestions. The video that I watch always shows the black plastic spring holder being used.

Expert Reply:
The optional part is the coupler spacer block not the spring keeper. You will need to use the spring keeper on the Demco Composite eZ-Latch Replacement Repair Kit # DM6008.
The spring keeper has two settings, -2.313, and -2.00, and depending on your coupler will dictate which hole you'll use.
I have included a video of # DM6008 being rebuilt without the coupler spacer block, for you to check out.
