Is there anything to know besides sticking the pipe through the
spring and bending it?

Thanks.

Make sure that the pipe goes in the correct end of the spring. It has
to
wind CCW from the top. If you get it wrong just turn the spring
around.


Wait, what?


He's just havinga bit of fun. You've got to unwind the spring and wind
it the other way around. ;-)


Yeah, but you have to have a Langstrom 7 inch wrench to do that. Contrary
to popular belief it works on Finley sprinkler heads too.
