John, I fully agree with you. In 2011 with 2012 very close, it would be very nice to buy products that are user friendly. As we all get older, we find out some of our parts do not function well. I just dealt with that spring issue too. What a pain in the neck it is. SHS makes it easier and much better. Even LTI Flyer couplers(most times)work well. Go Pats! Frank
