So, that little spring thingy popped off my latch on the nose tie on my trailer, and now I can't get it to stay latched, and can't for the life of me figure out how that spring works. Anyone got any ideas how to re-attach that thing so it does what it's supposed to do? I feel like such a retard... :-)

Augh! My sim card is at work, no cam available :-(

But yeah, it's just a standard nose crank, no boad-buddy or anything...the latch that keeps the crank from backing off, that spring is what i'm having probs with.
