OK, bad video... Almost all of them are. To attach the spring (stud) to the cock: 1. Put the cock on the table top upside down. Open the regulator if closed. 2. Put the balance on , align the stud above the hole for it in the stud carrier. 3. Help the stud to get in the hole by gentle pressing. 4. When it is in, grasp the cock with balance with tweezers (from aside, not from above), then get it between fingers, not changing the horizontal position, then tighten slightly the screw. This is the moment to correct the high position of the stud - it's top must be even with the carrier. Now tighten the screw. 5. If the outer coil is out of the regulator, move the regulator to the max to '+' position, then guide the spring to get in the regulator. Now You can return the regulator where it was and close it above the spring -
Newly interested in watch servicing & repair. Just ordered a few basic tools and a cheap Seagull movement to practice on. I hope this turns out to be a rewarding hobby (intellectually, not financially. Really not expecting financially 🙂). Just wanted to say hi and no doubt I'll be back for advice.

Sorry, You have some kind of major problem that causes that rapid unwinding, when stem is moved to hands setting position. Also the hairspring is badly deformed. As You don't have expirience in watch repairs, it will be much much easier for You to get new movement and repllace. It is easy to remove dial and hands, but measures needed to be taken to prevent them from deformation and damafe of appearence. You need to remove the second and minute nands only. Watch some videos to see how it is done. -

Ok I’ll do that right now everything except balance and pallet fork is in the ultrasonic in lighter fluid. Any advice on the best way to reattach the spring. I had difficulties previously. I was following a video were the spring was first set in between the regulator pins then the cock was mounted in the plate and the stud reattached. But when I tried to do that the spring would come out of the pins immediately. So I ended up attaching the stud first then removing the cock turning it over and putting the spring in between the pins.
