How to fix a door handle on HNL6166 with broken spring?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on fitting a door handle with the spring snapped as I cant judge the orientation of the spring. I have ordered a new handle kit with the spring but not sure on the orientation and I had managed to retrieve the lock pin that was trapped but again no idea if its inwards or outwards, logic makes me think it should be inwards? if pictures or a step by step guide would be useful. thanks
