I have tried pry bars and a bottle jack but can't get it over the bottom knob.

Thanks. We used a come-along attached to each end and moved the axle with spring into place. I didn't see your attachment until now, but it is similar to the one I had from JD which showed the spring as #16. Thanks again for the info.
