    I've never put one in, but the other advice I've heard is to use a small hose clamp to compress the spring. Install the spring with the clamp and then cut the hose clamp to remove it from around the spring. I like this solution because it doesn't seem as likely to produce eye injuries as just using a big hammer.

        you wouldn't need to cut the hose clamp... just hold the spring in palce with a scredriver or extention and pull the hose clamp out with a pliers.
