1996 850R Wagon - front turn signal bulb replacement?

On the way to work I noticed that if I indicated I was turning right, it flashed quickly. I checked, and the front right turn signal is not lighting. I'm assuming it is just the bulb. I popped the hood, and there is no easy way to get at the back of the assembly without removing other things. But it appears there is a spring that holds the turn signal assembly in place.

To replace the bulb, do I just need to pull the assembly forward enough to disengage the bulb?

the spring needs to be detached

Yep, just pull the entire assembly forward and change the bulb, the spring takes a lot.

You can break the PLASTIC piece the spring attaches to doing it that way, which is incorrect.
