To reassemble the toaster after the spring is replaced, follow steps 3 through 7 in reverse. Place the new spring where you took the old spring off. Then add the cover, the handle, and the screws back to the toaster. After you have reassembled your toaster, to check if you put it back correctly, plug in your toaster and press down the latch. If the latch stays down you have successfully reassembled your toaster.
