I experianced the same: The big nut (24 mm) kept rotating, and I was not able to pull the spring back with the spanner.

I read somewhere that the threads on this are made the opposite way. That might be of outmost importance...
Spent 3 hours scratching my head.

Yes that's correct, forgot to mention that. The 24mm turns anti clockwise to tighten.
