ok so i got the old school shimano xt rear derailer tonight but i couldnt figure out how it fit onto the bike so i accidentally took it apart and the spring thing popped out.. there is too much tension and i can't wind the spring and then push the thing in place. i dont know if anyone knows what i am talking about, but basically i cant get a spring back in place. is there a special tool for it? if i take it to the LBS would they know what to do? and even if i get the spring back in, i still dont see how it could mount onto the frame. any help? thanks
