Remove the arbor, tilt it into the inner spring loop. Fiddle with as you get the loop to surround the arbor and fit into the hole on the bottom of the barrel.

Did you notice you wound it in the wrong direction?

Hi If the upper picture is the original and the lower one is the new spring it is indeed wound in the wrong direction

The 7s26 barrel should be looking like that:

For some reason the barrel I hate the most is the one I do most often. Big ups for having the guts to do it manually, they are real thin and a total pain

i want to give a quick update, thamks for the tips, i rewinded the barrel and it gave juice to the train. And after a few dismantlings of the barrel bridge, i found what was wrong, the pallet fork pin was crushed (i think my fault) and i broke 2 balance springs (happy i had reserve). After the cleaning and oiling i checked it on the timegrapher:

 

and this is it now after all the work and adjustment:
