So I just screwed up a ST3600 (6497 clone) mainspring. But tbh, I've struggled with this with both automatic and manual mainsprings with the same issue. Like I say, everyone I see do this does so without an issue. How do I end up having to using brute strength or lift the winder handle (at great risk of spectacular uncoil). I have tried articulating the bridle in what I would think would be a logical manner to get it into the winder.

I think one is attached to the wheel and the other side is then attached to it. I'll have a closer look tonight when I get home.

It can take a little practice but shouldn't be that hard. Can you confirm what mainspring have you got.

🤔 are the push fingers attached to the wheel or part of it ? If they are attached has one come free and possibly jammed itself in a new position ? -
Yes exactly that. I wind the spring and stop before the end. Everyone else I see do this then takes brass tweezers and feeds the end of the spring and bridle into the winder barrel. I really struggle to do this. Here's a screenshot of Marshal doing this without skipping a heartbeat. What am I doing wrong.
