Shimano spool spring breaking.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of it, but it's the one that makes your spool click when it's giving line. In a nutshell I must have replaced it 6 times at least on different reels, including 5500 XTBs, Medium Longcasts and lastly twice on my Technium 6000fb float real, which unfortunately has gone again. Is it me or does anyone else have this problem?
Felindre have been OK in the past, but emailed for 2 more today and awaiting response. It's a right ball ache to fit also.
 
Happens regularly on my 5500xtb's

Doen't affect the function except for an audible click but bloody annoying all the same!! :mad:
