Here's what I did, it wa a piece of cake.

I did the Red Green thing and protected the area with Duct Tape. I then pulled my 12" flat blade screwdriver, wrapped the last 4 inches in Duct Tape so the spring would slide. I then levered the spring with the screwdriver resting on the most forward bolt. Slowly, I mean slowly increase tension and the spring slid into place. Easy.

My one hinge is bent a bit. My gap isn't too bad but I may go junkyarding this weekend just cause I like it.
