[Elecraft] [K3]Friction spring

[Martin]

Elecrafters, i need to replace the WIDTH knob after 5 years. I found the 
new knob came with a friction spring. The mounting procedure is covered 
in the (new to me ) manual. This procedure works as long the spring sits 
in the knob, but mine came with the spring separately.
How do i get the spring into the knob? I tried to push by hand and with 
a tweezer and even tried to use a hammer. No chance. I will damage the 
spring or the kmob if i proceed this way.
Anyone?
