Remove Large nut and locking device on top of stand and swivel stand around unhook and reconnect
Even easier without removing the stand, bend the spring with grips, insert 5 x 5 pence pieces into the gaps (opposite sides of the spring) the spring will then be long enough to fit into the eyes (with the stand in the up position, put the stand down and the coins will drop out !!
The first Road King wasn't produced until 1994, but on a 1966 FLH to remove the jiffy stand you first put the bike on a lift to take the weight off of the jiffy stand, then remove the bolt on top of the jiffy stand leg that holds the keyhole-shaped locking tab in place. Remove this tab and rotate the jiffy stand all the way forward. This will remove all tension from the spring, making it easy to remove and replace.
If you look on the underside of the jiffy stand, the pin is held in by a screw. If you remove the screw, the pin drops out (it might need a few taps). You can then remove the stand.
I will be back in a jiffy.However, that's a bit of an exaggeration, as a jiffy is 1/100th of a second.
Jiffy STandharley Davidson has always called it a jiffy stand, at least as long or longer than it has been called a kickstand. H.D. has been around a very long time and had they been more popular in the early years everyone would be calling it a jiffy. Originally, most bikes had a frame mounted 'center stand'. On most older HD models, there was a center stand clipped to the inside of the rear fender requiring the operator to lift the whole back end of the bike to swing it into place under the frame, the "jiffy stand" was a quick easy method of standing the bike up without getting a hernia...the term jiffy stand was coined to distinguish the center stand from the side or "kick" stand as it could be deployed in a 'jiffy'. My 1949 Harley WL has both stands, the center stand is only useful when changing the rear tire on the side of the road.
No, Jiffy Lube does not replace thermostats. They only perform preventive maintenence services. You will have to go to a full service shop, such as Firestone or NTB to have a thermostat replaced.
Take it to a Jiffy Lube or an Oil Can Henrys
The spring symbol stands for Spring.
on some models you can remove the stop bolt on top, and pull the stand all the way forwars. the spring should just slip on in that position.
The oil level should be checked with the bike standing upright (not leaning on the jiffy stand) and at normal operating temperature. And to be perfectly accurate, both tires should be level with each other. However, once you've established the correct oil level using the above method, you can lean the bike over on the jiffy stand, let it cool off for an hour of so and then read the level again in that position. Whatever that reading is on the dipstick, use it as your reference to check the oil when the bike is cold and leaning on the jiffy stand.

You can replace the spring with proper tools. Be VERY CAREFUL a spring that is not caged can inflict serious injury.
