my 87 simply hooks on top of the brake pedal and then stops itself against the
frame mount.
Maybe if you try to spin it once around it will wind itself up?
I'll try to take a pic after I get home.

Did it ever work?
is it new to you?
does the spring look like it broke off?
I assume the wheel actuators work smoothly, not that it matters much relative to the pedal itself.
