The spring goes in first, then the filter after it. I squeezed the last coil so it would grip the 4 nubs in the bottom of the housing. The service manual does not show the spring and the first time I changed the filter everything just came flying out, but it seems like it only works going in first. If I'm wrong somebody out there please set me straight!
