Micro Engineering Ladder Track Turnouts

[hardcoalcase]

The MEC turnouts have a small off-center spring on the throwbar, to hold the point rail against the stock rail, similar to Peco(?).  They'll be controlled with Tortoise switch motors with a heavier piano wire (.039" vs .025" stock).  So my question is - should I remove the off-center spring, or no?  They appear difficult to remove once the turnout is installed.

If you are going to use a turnout motor, the springs have no useful function.
