As others have suggested, make sure you're not in 4wd already. Also,
as I recall, the spring is compressed quite a bit, so it does look
long. There's supposed to be a nut on the shaft under the knob. I
had a hard time getting the thing back together once, and ended up
pushing the spring down with a pair of vicegrips. I locked them on
the shaft while I spun the nut on.
