Any hint to mount the spring return easily, to avoid brake my fingers?

A couple of articles in the link below with tips on fitting the centre stand spring.

Dave, Spriddler,
thank you for the hints.
I will try both suggestions, only one point to clarify:
which is the right angle to meet between short and log spring legs?

Sorry Giovanni I'm not sure what you mean.

Dave,
I try to explain better:
The spring return off the bike have short and long legs on the same side (zero angle).
I was asking on preparing the spring to be mounted with Jubilee clips or similar if the spring need to be armed 45 o 90 degrees?
As I saw 90 degrees appears to much, so (maybe) 45 degrees is enough, I am right?

Follow this diagram in the article in the link that I gave you earlier.

Spriddler,
checking the spring return layout, I try this way:
I put the stand in place with the spring also, so only the short leg in position.
This way the long leg is reaching the gear (quite no pushing).
Initially I do to observe how the spring return works, but understanding what was the effort to apply, I take a nylon cord at the end of the long leg and I drive it like in the figure show, the same angle, same axis.
When the spring reach the angle above, with hands only, small power to apply
after this I try pulling horizontally 45 degrees with the cord, till I was able to bypass the horizontal tube of the stand.
Done!

In the weekend I move to reassemble the rear wheel, starting from brake drum.
I have couple of questions:
The two cam (front/rear) are different, the short is back. right?

The rear drum cam goes directly in to the plate or there is washer or spacer between the cam and plate?

Yes the short expander is the back. There shouldn't be a spacer under the brake plate.

Folks,
I move my attention to rear brake pedal.
It seems not so easy, any help to understand the correct mounting sequence?
