IIRC, the maintenance manuals tell you how many turns to wind the spring drum.

I strongly suggest you carefully lift the flat 
carriage return ribbon metal tab on the end 
off the post, holding it with narrow nose pliers; 
then slip a paper clip thru the hole, and fasten 
the paper clip on something on the left that is 
stable.  This will prevent the spring spool from 
totally unwinding -- it will take you forever to get 
the spring spool wound to the proper tension for 
good carriage return if you just let it unwind.
