I was doing this with the whole assembly out of the truck, so that might have made it easier.

I will also say that the pedal pads were extensively worn when I got the pedals, so it wouldn't surprise me if my return spring has well over 150k or more miles on it, so it's possible that the spring is more worn out than your 78

Yeah I was doing it from under the dash. When I put it back together I will probably remove the dash pad and gauges which should give me more access to it from the top. Hopefully anyway.
