Query re 56 vacuum wiper washer fluid pump construction

[56 Buick]

Hmmm, so the washer fluid pump inside the washer bottle was not working so I took it out and released the 2 halves of the main body and the spring and other bits flew everywhere - I know I should have been ready as I knew there was a spring inside but in my defence I had no idea it was that big! 

 

Anyway, I am hoping I have subsequently remedied the issue stopping the pump from operating but of course I am now not exactly sure how the insides of the main body are configured. 

 

I have attempted to find some exploded view or similar on the Web or the Shop Manual but I have had no luck.

 

When I opened up the main body, the parts that went flying and that I have found are:

 

1. a large metal spring about 6 inches long; and

2. a clear plastic rod about 2.5-3 inches long with a disc shaped base at one end; 

3. a small metal spring.

 

First of all I am hoping I have all the parts and I have not missed picking some part up off the floor?

 

Secondly, can someone please confirm:

 

1. the small spring fits onto the plastic rod at the end opposite to the rod's disc end; and

2. the rod then sits into the bottom half of the pump body with the disc end at the bottom and the small spring pointing up;

3. the large metal spring then sits over the rod before the top and bottom halves of the pump body are again connected?

 

Thanks
