Oh to sit down

After fixing the love seat I went off, flopped in my recliner, leaned back and...crack....something broke in the mechanism.  This morning I as I lean back the chair tipped to the right.  I remembered I had a mechanism in the basement from the last time one side broke, with the good lord's help it happened that the one that was still good was the broke this time.
Here it is bottoms up so I can work on it, the back is fairly easy to remove so you can get at the under carriage.
Yes it's me bottoms up.  I'm trying to get the springs off the old hardware, tight spring, good for the chair bad for me...OUCH!!
Finally time to work it back into the chair and refasten it, thanks to my Black & Decker case of driver bits and my cordless drill. 

The project is completed, I can sit back and write this from my easy chair.
Can you Doug it?
