OK,
Looks like you are posting internet photos there ...
The second photo is correct. The third photo shows the suspension rod put together backwards (left to right).
Posting photos of the clock in question (your clock) can be very helpful. Posting photos of anything other than your clock doesn't help. Willie X

Hi Willie X ,you are right, The third photo is indeed an internet photo.
I'll take some photos of the clock tomorrow, for supplementary picture.

Photos added ,
I pushed hard against the side of the spring, but still couldn't get it out.
I wonder how the manufacturer put it in.

You seem to be pushing both parts of the holder, which will just hold the suspension spring tighter.. Try pushing just the spring-loaded brass colored part.

Unless I have missed something.......

lightly spread the legs holding the pins and it will come out when you compress the spring

 

[Willie X]

You bend the arm that the spring is compressed against, as in the second photo, just enough so the other end will clear the hole in the unbent post.

It looks like a Korean design. But maybe they copied it

Thank you for your advice.
I'm trying to see if I can separate them.

Thank you both for your advice ,Willie X and Jeff T,
Is your suggestion as shown in the photo below?
But I think this approach seems a little risky to me.

Be careful. Metal has a fatigue point.
ie: you need only bend it away until the pivot comes out. In such, you should be trying to get it out as you bend.
Remember, you have to bend it back to put it back in.

Yes, several technicians have mentioned this method,
but I always worry if it's the right method.

Please forgive me for my rudeness.

 

[Jeff T]

yes slight bend will do it

 

[Willie X]

Bend the side with the spring and not the side you are bending in the last photo. This will allow you to put it back to the original position.

It's not a big deal. Just spread the post and take the suspension rod out. There's no need in arguing over a minuscule matter like this ...

Sorry for the late reply because I was busy with other things a few days ago.

Ok, thanks for your suggestions. I will give it a try.
