Where Do the Replacement Springs On the Reese 16K 5th Wheel Hitch Go

Question:

Im replacing both springs on my 16 T Reese Fifth Wheel Hitch. I was wondering if you could send me a diagram of where the springs go. One of broke and I cant find just where it goes. Thank you

I was able to locate an image of your Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Square Tube Slider # RP30051 showing where the springs will go.

It looks like one spring end goes to the handle and the other end hooks onto a point near the front of the hitch head, and the other spring attaches to a point near the concealed end of the handle and the other end goes across the hitch and attaches to a point on the other side of the hitch.
