I've changed a few of those little inner springs over the years, BT used to offer them as a spare part, then they realised if you couldnt get that spring they could sell you a new cylinder instead.
Not had one of the cylinders apart for a few years, I seem to remember there is a BIG spring inside that has a lot of force in it so be carefull if you attempt to take the cylinder apart!
