What is/was broken on your E53 today?

It must have been tedious to thread the wire around?
Did you just use pliers?
Could you re-upload your videos to youtube or something?

Your fix deserves its own thread...
Wrapping wire was easy Just a pair of pair of pliers (one pliers for each hand).

The difficulty was the spring kept popping the axle out until I got a full wrap.

The videos didn't show the process just a rotating view of the repaired part.

I think I will post a thread over here with the fix. It makes me cringe to think of how often that part breaks and people spend real money to replace with a part with the same design flaw.
