I have been struggling with getting the spring, back onto the power seat frame.
It is a very strong spring.

I finally devised a way to stretch the spring using a metal support pole, a piece-of-chain, and some all-thread.

I just tightened the nut and let it pull the spring into place.

I make it sound easy but I was terrified that something was going to let go and rip my face off.
I had a spare tire between me and the seat frame.
