It's a textbook classic issue. Keep in mind if you are doing this yourself, the spring pushes UP on the pin of the minute wheel as pictured. That means you have to wiggle the pin into the spot by placing it above the spring and pushing against it in a downward direction, that is, in reference to the picture, and when the pin lines up with the hole you will feel it slip in. If after doing this, you feel no resistance or spring pressure on the minute wheel, you try it again. The minute wheel should be held snug by the spring, and it also easily will pop out, so you want to get it held down quickly by installing the sautoir (setting lever spring).
