i've knocked a few off jumping curbs. thank goodness for always carrying bunge cords. easiest way is to remove the stand from the mount. hook spring in the frame and the stand. then angle the stand into the bracket and replace the lock and nut.

Now that's what I call "using your head"

I just recently took mine off to paint it. Per the manual, you are supposed to loosen the bolt that holds the arm onto the bracket. Once you do that, you can move the arm forward, past the down position, and the spring will either come off or can be put on easily.
