Loosen the lock ring - then use your hands to spin the whole spring & lock ring together. Should be easy. DONT use a hammer & punch.
If you have to, takes moments to remove the whole shock - then work on it on the bench.

Lots of different versions, but they all look a bit like this:
About $9

Or you can even buy a pretty KTM version...
