Sorry Tom,
Yes, I meant to say to put the spring into the barrel, and if you put in the arbor before you push the T-end into place, just make sure you find he right size hole to match…….somedays I do well,..and others ???? 😯
KT-22 grease is a micro-lubricant. I just take a small amount on a toothpick and “paint” the inside walls of the barrel,.not unlike you might do with Chronogrease on an automatic.
You can find it at most parts houses,…Otto Frei, Jules Borel, etc
