I did find a couple of things that made it easier.
1. use a longer screw to make it easier to pull the spring over. I tried the smaller screw, but could not get the nut started with the spring on the bolt. I ended up using a longer bolt then wrenched the spring down the bolt as I tightened. I then used my dremel to cut the bolt down to size so the unit would fit back in the housing - making it a much easier installation.
2. I coated the newly created bolt assembly with gorilla glue for added strength, holding power and longevity.

Good added tips! I did mine nearly a year ago when I posted the original fix and it is still fine...even going through those car washes that bend and flex the mirrors with their giant spinning brushes.
Happy motoring.
