Abstract: A spring setting device (30) comprises a setting guide (31; 40) configured to receive a spring, an abutment member (32; 50) positioned adjacent to the setting guide (31; 40) and configured to abuttingly engage the spring, and a pusher (35; 71) which is configured to displace the spring along the setting guide (31; 40) and to compress the spring against the abutment member (32; 50). The abutment member (32; 50) may be rotatably mounted.
