Been several years but as I recall in replacing the headlight bucket springs, the first one was not bad but after the first was on space got tight and the others were a pain. I finally resorted to tools and fortunately had a set of Matco spring hooks available. Was able to attach one end of a spring by hand and use one of the tools to push or pull the loop on the other end of the spring to get it where it needed to go.

My set has handles like a screwdriver which makes them easy to manipulate and hold on to. Amazon has some sets with and without handles. Here is one example of an inexpensive set without handles. They also have sets with the working ends in small and large gauges that can handle a larger assortment of spring sizes.
