Finally, the big spring in the cap has come out when I finally removed the cap with lots of pulling. Is this spring really needed for the ground?
Thanks

Ed, this has been discussed several times and fellas have come up with various solutions. Most of these require that the spring circ-clip be tossed. Some like to use a worm gear clamp to hold the cap.
I tend to go the simple route. I remove the circ- clip and add a piece of silicone rubber tubing onto the cap to hold the cap in place of the clip. Removes easily but holds firm.
I don't use the extra spring that's included for contact.. In my experience it isn't required.
