install accelerator cross shaft retracting spring 1937 115

Trying to install the accelerator cross shaft return spring on a 37 115 sedan. Do you preload the spring by turning clockwise or counterclockwise and then install the cotter pin? if so how many turns. Have tried both ways and doesn't seem right, either way doesn't seem to return accelerator pedal to idle position. Assuming it's easier than I am thinking? Anyone have any tips?
Thanks Dan Reynolds

I don't have an answer for you, but that assemble is the same as 120's as well.

G'day Dan R,
Although a PackardInfo member for some time(2019) your first post, so to PackardInfo.

I invite you to include your 37 115C in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

It was a few years ago I did this, but I took the series of photos that may assist.
I cannot remember if the spring was loaded under tension or not. I am sorry, but the assembly I believe does require the alignment of the end spring hook to align with the rods drill hole to enable the cotter pin to be inserted.
