How to change the bobbin winder shaft on Toyota RS2000?

I would like to know how to change the bobbin winder shaft on a Toyota RS2000. I have ordered a replacement but do not know how to remove and replace it on my sewing machine.

Help!!! Could anyone post a photo of the return spring on the bobbin winder in position? I'm trying to replace my broken bobbin winder but can't figure out how to attach the spring again.....

This isn't as easy as it seems.First you need to remove the outer covers,all screws are visible & should be removed.Lever the stitch selector dial away from the machine being careful not to loose the retaining plate.You will need to apply some force to remove the front cover,easing the catch just above the needle upwards while pulling the cover forwards.Once the covers are removed remove the bobbin winder,might be a good idea to take a photo just as a reminder of how the return spring is positioned.Check the bobbin winder works before reinstating the covers.Good luck !!
