Default Replacing spring behind the clutch pedal

The previous owner had this spring break on them and decided he liked it better without the spring. Im trying to replace it to decide for myself. Im having a brain fart and cant figure out how it should be facing. Does anyone have a picture of theirs by chance? Or simply know how it should be facing and how it hooks in?

I took mine off, I remember it being no big deal.

a user with the name something like bowtiebandit is a GM mech and lives right by you. If you asked not only could he tell you, but would probably offer to pop it on for you if you drove to his house. Nice guy, bought some tires off him once.

Good Luck!

nice! thanks for the picture. Thats how I thought it went in, but it seemed like it would make it harder to push in, not easier.
