This is 150 pound test braided fishing line. it is thin, tough and will not stretch. perfect for this job. |
|
Each end is tied into a loop. the first loop is slipped over one hook end. |

Bring the line around the boot. Yes, the boot that should be here, but isn't. |
|
Continue threading the line around the drum, alongside the cable. |

Bring the other end through the second spring hook, and pull back. |
|
I used a nutdriver through the loop at the end of the line as a handle to pull the line to stretch the spring. |

Here's a shot of the spring and cable disconnected. |

For info, in the two shots above, I am holding the front of the drum upright between my knees, holding the camera with my right hand, and stretching the spring out with my left. |
