2013 Boardwalk – I am replacing the right driver floor board, simple enough except for the spring. Does anyone have a solution for compressing and installing the coiled spring that holds the floor board in the horizontal position? I'm stumped!

I'm not sure if this is overly helpful, but I saw a video on Witchdoctors where he replaced the kick stand and took off the floorboard. In regard to the spring, he put dimes in between the coils to keep the spring extended. I think this was the video but I didn't watch it all the way through. Good luck!

And welcome? I see that was your first post.

Thanks for hte reply, walks35.
After posting my request, I continued studying the "exploded" part diagrams and realized the brake assembly mount and the floor board mount were two structures, not one. Once realized, I was able to find the bolts holding the brake assembly bracket to the floor board bracket. With the brake bracket unbolted, I was able to assemble the whole floor board assembly, spring and all – piece of cake. — and thanks for the welcome, this is my first post.
