Here are some pix that may help you. I guess I was able to get one of the springs in, but I remember having to give up trying to do another. I just can't remember without taking the latch out again.

Just as an update to my 'door project', I did get the lock out today and was surprised by a couple of things.... first, I couldn't believe how easy it came out!! I was expecting a 'real fight' and, to the contrary, I had the mechanism in my hand in minutes. Secondly, I found the lock I removed was missing the latch-return 'bobby-pin' spring altogether. I felt around in the bottom of the door cavity, but found nothing. I can see how the spring pushes on the door handle mechanism in John Ulrich's site photo, and I am optimistic that the new springs will help return the handle to the horizontal position. I was also expecting to find the lock assembly a lot more 'gunked up' than it was. I sprayed it with 'Free-All' (for those unfamiliar, Free-All is far and away the best anti-seize product around - made in the US by Federal Process) and then oiled all the moving parts and the unit seems to function very smoothly, save for the moment effort of the spring to return it positively to the horizontal 'start' position. I am up in the mountains in British Columbia Canada, and the parts are several hours drive away at my mail box in northern Washington. With storms, road closures and generally inclement weather of late, I have been unable to go and get them - thus I am stalled on my progress for now; I will report with the finishing results as soon as possible.
