    Hi BYJWR1,
    Allowing the T end of the mainspring to project slightly outside of the slot of the mainspring winder and choosing a winder slightly smaller then the barrel ID to give a little wiggle room should allow you to insert the end into the slot or hole of the barrel before releasing the spring.
    Hope this helps BYJWR1,
    Bob
