Are there any tricks or techniques to get the spring coil wire handles onto their main handle shafts (such as for the stove door and intake adjustment in my case).

On my Century S244, they seem quite difficult. I have been trying to rotate them on in the opposite direction of the spring coil to minimize any further tensioning. I feel like I may be missing something here but didn't see anything in the manual.
 
Opposite of coil would tighten as you turn. Imagin threading it on and it should twist on.
