vertical damper springs

The question is how do you measure upright damper spring pressure?  Does the spring gauge previously mentioned have a hook that comes in between the hammer shanks and pulls on the spring to measure tension?  If too high in comparison to the neighbors, one pushes in on the spring and re-measures?  Too weak:  spring out of groove and pulled between damper levers to strengthen...This all seems doable ...
