First step. Take it apart ...... again. Inspect the hook lug the spring fits under and insure part of the lug has not broken off, allowing the
spring to slide out.
Second step. With a glass (magnifying) inspect the hole in the lower tang. INSURE there are threads in there. The threads may well be
stripped. Under the glass, inspect the threads on the tension screw. INSURE the threads are not partially stripped away. THEN:
Put the screw in the hole, without the spring, with your FINGERS. If the screw wobbles around, you really do have a screw loose. You
may well have to tap the hole out to a larger size screw. If that is the case, I would recommend using an actual "set" screw that will disappear into the newly tapped hole. Not authentic, but very effective.
