I had the same problem, except somehow I had turned the safety back on...

The mainspring was stuck, in the same position, but I used a wooden dowel to hammer the top pin back through, releasing the Spring.

I write notes on my printed instructions to help me along, it'd really not difficult, but if you get things out of order, it can become problematic...

Glad it worked out.
