do not grease or lubricate the nylon sleeve! they soak up the lube and swell! then stick! as for the shorter spring, stretch it! take a knife to the damaged section and cut it off, thats what we do on call outs and it works
the correct terms for a 260 are cluster and skate, not trunion that a handicare thing 😉
cluster bottom rail, skate top rail
and never use a drill to hand wind a 260! the gears are cheap nylon and will strip if they get any resistance, say if the safety gear dropped in again or during travel you failed to keep them engaged fully, with the gears stripped you are screwed!
