Replacing rope starter spring on klt 185

[grandpa]

Is there a special tool to reinstall the spring in this thing. It popped out while replacing the rope and I'm not having any luck trying to reinstall it by hand.
Thanks--Grandpa

That recoil spring rewinding is either a sevral minute or a sevral hour ordeal.
Walt, some of these folks have posted up about what worked for them, Good luck !
