On the chainstay U-brake mount, is there more than one hole that the spring can fit into? No?
Is there a bolt on the side of one of the caliper arms? If yes, then turn that bolt in or out to increase/decrease spring tension.
Some of the videos I've watched show a flat on the U-brake spring holder. You turn that flat and hold it in position and then tighten the retaining bolt that holds the brake arm to the brake stud.
Cheers
