Yes, the spring is directly behind the hex plug.? It is fairly stiff and will require a good push to restart the plug with the new spring.? Of the several used springs I have seen, all had a heavy wear spot on one of the coils where it was rubbing in the barrel.
? good luck, ?

Can you replace the chain tensioner spring by removing the hex headed plug or do you have to remove the plate? Couldn't find anything about replacing the chain on the CD.
