I have done them. Push the wires through . Unwind the spring over the wire. Clean and lube the socket and contacts rewind a strong spring if yours is not rusted stretch it for more tension.
You can also remove and resolder the contacts then you can rebuild the complete socket with new parts. I have silver soldered original brackets onto new sockets when the socket was rusted upon repair. You can also replate your socket. I looked it up on Youtube and now do my tonka parts and carb parts.
Cutting the wires to dismantle is also an option
