I've had this Winchester model 190 22cal for a while and a few years ago I took it apart to clean it, I mean I took everything out like I do with most of my guns. Well I never have been able to get the spring back inside it. I was able to do it once before but I can't remember how I decrompressed the spring to be able to get it between the slide and the rear. I kept everything inside a ziplock bag and it's all there and clean.

Anybody have any ideas? Do I need some tool or what? I don't think it's worth paying a gunsmith to put that back together, it's just a cheap 22 that I keep around the farm.
