Bolt stop spring help on a remington 700!!

[HoustonB77]

Ok so I took my Timney trigger out of my model 700 to do a little DIY project and bed the stock and I can't for the life of me figure out how to reinstall the bolt stop spring. The bedding job turned out great now if I can just get this thing back together. I tried the search function and youtube and havn't had any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you look at diagram C in this you will see a pic of how the spring sets in there. I know its a PITA as I went through this not too long ago:

Check out installation for a jewell trigger on youtube. Makes it look simple.

The install is real easy as long as you don't pull the pin out too far and have the spring come loose. Once you do that it like trying to put a square peg in a round hole for half an hour until you figure it out.

That's exactly what happened to me it wasn't the initial install I had to take it back out so I could bed the action. And putting it back together was when all hell broke loose got it back in there though finally!

Do it a few times and it is like falling off a log.
