Hold the clock spring in your hand, slowly, gently & carefully turned it clockwise until you feel resistance, stop. Now slowly, gently & carefully turn it anti-clockwise while counting the revolutions until you feel resistance, stop. Divide the number of turns by half. Turn it clockwise that number of turn. This will be centre. There will always be a little of extra travel to cover it being a little bit out ( maybe 20 or 30 degrees)
