Your 84-006S spring is different than mine

Question

This picture shows more clearly the difference is length. All I can say is that the old ones are about a 3/16"-1/4" inch shorter and snap in easily where as the new ones will not go in and over enough for the pin to fit in hole. I've broken off 3 pins of the new ones trying to get them in. The length is the only reason I can think of as to why I can not install them. It is also possible that I'm doing something wrong. We'll move on, thanks.

Thank you for your patience during this busy season. I've also had trouble installing these wheels with the pins.

The first thing I do is to bend the spring a little to take some of the tension off. When bending the spring, try to pull it to match up to the old wheel. Make sure the hole in the screen frame is clear. What I do is to take a drill bit a little larger than the existing hole and drill up from the bottom so not to damage the screen cloth. Also, if you haven't done it already look at the related video. They may help.
