2062 Bail Spring,HELP !

[jgp12000]

I am putting my 2nd 2062 back together & this bail spring is giving me grief...I have tried the original bail spring & a new one same issue.

I can get it in position but I can't get the screw to clear the tab of the  spring so the bail arm pivots.Henchforth,the screw turns when the bail arm is moved.I am thinking the bail arm may be bent some?

 Take a good look at the spring legs , one side is short and the other side is a little longer . short side goes in the arm.

I took a photo of the original spring, what I would call the short tab(90 degree) down in the rotor & the arm side  at the top.
I know it's correct because I R/R the one in my complete 2062.The physics of the spring seem to only work this way unless I did it wrong & it worked? Why didn't they just put a hole in the bail arm like everybody else

My next plan of attack is to shimmy some safety wire around the upper spring tab put the safety wire pliers in my vise,while pulling the rotor away from the vise I can get the screw  all the way seated past the upper spring tab.

I would rather get a tooth pulled than mess with a bail spring...good luck!
