Default Throw out bearing free play on my ERA

My ERA uses their external slave cylinder set up and I have a pretty good sized return spring on it but apparently it's not enough.



Anyway I noticed this spring is not strong enough to fully retract the slave cylinder piston and pull the TO bearing off of the clutch fingers. I can put the palm of my hand on the outer end of the fork and press it forward and pull it off of the fingers but this spring isn't doing it.

I guess I just need to find a bigger spring but it's going to take a pretty stout one which is not going to make my already heavy clutch pedal any better. May have to be one of those infamous Gorilla springs so well know in Mopar and early C1 Corvettes. My question is if anyone with a similar set up has found a spring that works from Dorman or some place else?
