Just twist the center piece counterclockwise - it works best if you press down somewhat on the center piece with the palm of your hand and twist counterclockwise. The center piece will come off like a screw with a large head (no dirty jokes, please!).

Once the center piece is off, you will see three screws which hold the dial in place. Removing these screws will allow you to remove the dial.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the broken spring - never have had a Mystery Control in my possession with a broken spring.
