bend that portion of the spring up just a wee bit. Then slid thew thumb button
over the spring, hold with your thumb.

Andrew Karre said:

I'm trying to reasemble my ergo 9-speed lever after replacing a
snapped downshifter blade, and I'm having a devil of a time keeping
the thumb lever in place on top of the return spring (keeping the
spring wound) so that I can screw in the bushing and the other spring.
The arm of the return spring slips oput of the little hole in the
thumb lever before I can get everything together.

Is there a trick for this?

Yes, there is! Use a 4 mm Allen wrench stuck into the side of the slot
to wedge the thumb button in place.
