How do you push the springs down and get everything lined up.

Threaded rod and a couple of wingnuts and big washers.

Ditto, you may have to "groom" the washers to fit. You'll see what I mean when you get started. You'll have mucho fun.

Just curious but did you blow a U-joint and explode the detroit?

Ditto. That's how the no slips ship when they are new.

its a toy i broke about 3 inners and 4 birfs, don't know which time it actualy broke the detroit, b/c when it did the part that broke got wedged in the splines and made it like a spool so i just kept wheeling it but it was hard to steer.
