Well, like I said before, if the spring is smaller in diameter, then it will sort of thread around the post inside the existing spring. If it's bigger, it will thread around the existing spring.

Geez, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. It just seems like second nature when I thread them on myself.

Are you starting to thread it on above the existing spring. In other words, did you kind of pull the existing spring down a little to expose the plunger rod so you could start threading the new spring ?
