Just for your information, I had a bitch of a time getting the new one in. The bolt was in two pieces, so I left one in place so the spring wouldn't fly away. I put the new one in and it wouldn't line up to the other hole. I used a big clamp and jack to move the the spring close enough to slide the bolt through. I think it would have been easer to take the wheel off, but, I found that out after the job was done.
