<VV> throw me out

[BBRT]

The fork and the spring go in the groove of the throwout bearing.. The ball 
stud (that is screwed into the face of the transaxle case) goes under the 
spring steel fingers, with the ball seating in the recess in the fork, 
against the fork-about two thirds from the end, which keeps the fork "end" 
in the throwout bearing groove.  When the spring is compressed toward the 
fork, it fits-at least it is supposed to.

You can usually mess around with it and get it in, even when assembled. With 
patience. Hope this helps.

I don't know what I am missing now.

I reviewed the assembly manual, and it shows the clutch throw out fork with 
a piece of spring steel on the back of it. The fork and spring is supposed 
to go into the throwout bearing groove. The spring on mine is wider than the 
groove and will not stay in said groove. The dumb question is; do I need a 
new fork? I don't know why this spring is wider, it doesn't look like the 
spring is deformed. Am I missing something else?

Why do I find this stuff out after I have everything bolted together? 
(rhetorical)!

Thanks.
