I was loosening the bindings for storage and went a bit far....
I'm guessing I just need to screw it back in, but the spring makes it difficult. Tips please

What year do you live in? This is completely unnecessary and may result in unwanted deconstruction of bindings

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Oops indeed
Point the ski down such that you can lean on the screwdriver vertically, then locate the assembly and push down on the screwdriver so the threads get to their location, now turn it anti clockwise until it clicks, this finds the screw thread "lead" to give start point (all the time keeping pressure on the screw against the spring) then turn it clockwise to start it, at least one full turn.
It should then be located enough to hold itself without pushing back out, to now tighten as normal.

I have the Marker TPX12 bindings on my Nordica Spitfires... and I managed to do exactly the same "over loosening" as you last year. I suspect that there is not much additional screwthread once you reach the bottom DIN setting.
As others have said, push the end with the spring in as hard as you can while turning the screwdriver with the other.
It does work... eventually. I can't remember.. but it was so much easier with the heel down/up (what I can't remember is which one it was!!!!)
