yes it’s a pig.
what i do once i’ve got the seal on the tub i wedge the spring in place at the bottom with my socket set extention bar and kind of hold it with my leg while chasing the spring round and round the seal. i think quickest i’ve done it 15 mins. a mate of mine holds the spring gently with long nose mole grips.

Hi adv,
Sounds like you are trying to do the job with the front dry duct still in place, take off the 7mm earth screw on top of the dryer and the other one in the facia and pull the front dry duct inside the drum.

As soon as you have the front dry duct off its easy.
