Intalling Hinge Springs

[barno68]

I ordered a new set of hood hinges for a '71 Camaro and they came without the springs installed. Suppose it was easier to ship them this way, but I can not figure out how to get them on. I have tried a screwdriver and a pry bar, but can barely get them to budge. Is there a special tool (like a heavy duty brake spring bar) to put these on? Oh, and I don't want to lose any body part doing it!
