Should the spring that hold the pawls on the freewheel have a gap? Been having problems with my freehub, and it's gone funny again. Had it apart tonight, and the spring had moved around, so one of the pawls had stopped springing back. I've got it back in, and it's fine now, but I'm concerned that it's just gonna move around in time and course similar trouble. I've only taken it apart once there was a problem, so not sure what it should look like when it's correct.

Also, should the spring/springs slot into some kind of groove or slot, or just go around tight enuff to hold the grooves in the centre of the pawls?
