Help in replacing take up spring in a 1901 Model 27 Singer
Hi,
I have been having fun with this old one. But-----
How do I remove the old spring?
Do I just unscrew the stud bolt? Is it a lefty loosen thread?
This machine is very dirty. The old oil is all solid varnish so hard to see.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
I did take a picture and will post it soon.

Thanks so much. I got it out OK. The new spring I have is the wrong one. I have to order one. The one I have comes off the coils to the left and I need one to the right.
Such is life, makes life interesting seems I just get one problem solved and another pops up. I did get the feed dogs replaced and the bobbin winder and most of the metal cleaned up. I will post a picture when I get it done.
