headlight bucket help

Trying to install the headlight buckets in a 67 and can't figure out how too get them in. When I hook up the spring it pulls the bucket down away from the top adjuster.

Re: headlight bucket help

You have to put it in the adjusters first, then pull on the spring to hook it on the bucket.
I use a hook tool. It's a little easier if the adjusters are backed out as far as possible.

Took them out today and put them in the adjusters first and when I went to hook up the spring realized I had the spring in the headlight retainer hole the first time. Put the spring in the right hole this time and they are in now.
