Bend the spring and put it threw so its sits in its original place...and then tie a string around the top (2nd arrow is where the spring needs to go into)

Then Drill the mirror down to some wood....

Take the Grip Vice and clamp down on the metal where its pointing to. after you do that pull the string with every muscle in your body! After you pull it up use the flat head to push the top of the spring into its place. There is alot of tension on this so BECAREFULLLLLLLLLLL...If the string snaps and your hand is around it might rip it wide open!

LMFAO i hope this makes sense to someone

If you have gone to a junk yard and yank a spring, will that be a lot of trouble doing this? :p
