A has a hook on the end of it so it if I can get them in the right

wondering if I would be best to attempt to disconnect the spring so
that I can reattach the hook.


If it's a hook that should make things a little easier.

From memory, there'll be an adjuster somewhere that adjusts the
tension of the spring. It'd be worth slackening the tension as much as
possible and seeing if you can pull the hook out with a pair of pointy
mole grips.


Thanks, using a pair of mole grips I managed to pull and hold the bar
out and lift the door up to hook onto the catch. Mole grips saved the
day. Dishwasher is back in action for the time being.
