I bought a new mainspring for a handwind movement and popped it into the barrel from the retaining ring and all went well until I realized I misjudged the position of the bridle and it's in front of the wedge inside the barrel as opposed to behind it or against it.
Does this mean I need to remove the spring and insert it again or can I put everything back together and when I wind the spring the bridle will slip around into place?
