Re-installing decklid springs on my '69

Hi guys... long time reader, first time poster. I have a '69 and a '70 Charger..

I'm trying to re-install my decklid springs on my 69 Charger but I'm having some difficulty figuring out HOW to muscle those things into their respective holes! I used a prybar last year to remove 'em and they shot out easily but now I find myself lying on my back in the trunk (tailpanel is removed) using 2 hands and hoping the bar doesn't snap and hit me in the face!

Any tips? Is there a tool I can use??

Thanks,
-Tim

Ugh.. I figured it out yesterday... I had them switched by accident. I was OVERtorque-ing them..
