that last picture looks right...and there is only two possible ways that spring can go on. so try it one way, then put the tb back together. if its not right then take it back apart, flip the spring, then try again.

No, I dont think thats right, Tried flipping spring its equal on both sides so doesnt really matter which way it goes. Put it back together and still no spring tension. Im thinking it maybe wraps around once or somthing. Im not sure.?

The spring has to be pre loaded. One wined should do the trick. It can be a pain in the *** to get the spring on. The spring you are working with looks much more robust than the stock one. The stock one is pretty easy.
