Tom... The safest way for you, is to take to a Sundowner dealer and pay to have it re-installed. Warning: The following is not advice. I looked at my Sundowner divider. If I had to reinstall the spring, I would use two pieces of pipe. 1. a 6 inch length of 1/4 and a 18 inch length of 1/2. Buy it at Home Depot or plumbing supply I would assemble the spring and its pin on the divider. Then I would slip the 1/4 pipe on to the plain end of the spring, with the 1/2 pipe completely over the 1/4 pipe. (I'm not sure that a 1/4 pipe alone will be able to set the spring without bending) Using the pipes to hold the spring back, put the divider back on its hinges. (You'll need a extra pair of hands) Open the drop-down for more room to work. Then carefully release the spring against the wall of the trailer. Let us know if you decide to do this yourself. I'd like to know how this worked to install the spring too.
