The spring I need now is the largest one in the upper left corner of the picture. I doubt they'd have it, but I'll take a look.
My mistake; I was thinking you needed the smaller extension spring. What you need is called a torsion spring, and the varieties are endless. Still worth a check at ACE.
Many with any experience in R&I of those hairpins have come up with a lot more colorful names for them. A hook-shaped pick tool works well for removal, but wondering if a magnetized version might save time looking for the pin once it comes off - especially when working on-car. WRT installation, I used to fumble around with bent type of needle nose pliers for installation, but wondering if a pair of bent-nose forceps might do better.
