I have a 2001 Spyder. I'm putting a new fuel module in. What's making this whole thing a pain in the **** is that the module is spring-loaded, which basically make it a 3-hand job; one to hold the module down and two to put the locking ring in place. Does anyone have a clue why they designed it this way?

I'm also having a tough time getting the locking ring in place. I had a buddy hold the module down with a two-foot long 1"x1" board, but the dang ring just isn't going on. The module feels like it's properly aligned (feeling the gap around it while pushing it down), and the ring fits nicely over the new module when making a test run, but the threads just aren't engaging when doing it for real. I wouldn't expect any advice on the problem, but thought I'd mention it. I'm mainly curious about the spring-loaded business.

Thanks for any thoughts.
