Simpson Maxidry 1200s spring location?

We have just fixed my dryer but do not know how to put it back together. Does anyone know how the drive belt tension spring goes on ?
Thanks
Sue

Have a look at sites http://repair2000.com/wpoolbelt.htm and http://www.repairclinic.com/0079.asp. Other sites of interest may be"This Old Appliance' and "Appliance Repair" but I have found nothing for Simpsons. These show a rough idea of how the pulley goes on.
If you pull out the drum from the back then look through the door you will see the motor and in front and below you will see two slits. these are where the wheel thing sits in. if you look on the bottom of the floor about in the middle you will see a white switch looking thing. this is where the end of the spring loops over on one end and attatches to the wheel thing.
