Scary project. What you have done is nothing short of amazing. Cant wait to see it put back together and worn.

Did you try to get the click assembly working without the spring?
As said, purpose of the click spring is to push click towards ratchet wheel, so you can try correct operation without the c.spring, if click helped with a pick - while waiting :) |

Learn to use the correct pressure with tweezers or using something like rodico when removing click springs. If you focus on how to find the parts you won't deal with improving your dexterity and handling of small parts.

Hummm
Sometimes they fly when touched with needle. Bamboo tweezers? Putty great! Parts are VERY costly. I found many lost parts multiple times.
