HELP! i need somebody

While messing with the whammy bar on my guitar one of the springs that tensions the strings let go. The whammy bar is a Lo-TRS just in case that helps.

I can get the spring back in, but the hole is worn and it won’t stay in place even without any of the strings being anywhere near in tune. Should I move it to a different hole? e.g.

it used to be: (where "o" is the holes)

o Spring (high e)
o
o Spring
o
o Spring (low e)

could i set the springs like this for example:

o (high e)
o Spring
o Spring
o
o Spring (low e)

Or is there a way to get the spring back in? Do you guys have any suggestions that could help me? any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can do it any way you want, but I'd set it like this as it would keep the tension more even across the bridge.

no, but you could make it so that, the back of your spring (the part that goes on the claw) is on the high e part, and then the string goes diagonally and hooks into the hole for the b string, then take the one from the low e and do the same and hook the other end into the A string. like so:

Thanks, that helps a fair bit. I'll get back to you on how it goes.

take the end of the spring that has the right angle bend in it (the one that goes in the trem block), and bend it away from the coil of the spring a bit... you should find this gives more grip on the block and prevents it slipping back out again....

worked for me.... :D
