Actually, we had the other end of that spring around a bolt that we mounted off of our battery carrier. The spring never had to come off of the switch, rather it came off of the bolt when we turned it off (the distance between the bolt and the breaker switch was just a bit more than the length of the spring to make it tight). The whole on or off process took maybe 8 seconds (we'd simply take the end of the spring off of the bolt).
