Greetings,
I have never had to do this, and I don't know if you are talking
about a coil type or a straight (rep lever) type spring, but, when I need to
put a jack spring back in, I have found that tweezers ( the 6" ones from
Schaff with the slightly curved narrow ends) allow me to squeeze the center
coils so that I can align the spring's ends right where I want them and then I
release the tweezers and the spring pops right in place.
I dont know if this helps.
Medical clamps and dentist towel clamps help with things I "need extra
hands/fingers" to do.

Well, I'll take upright damper spoons any day. I found something MUCH
WORSE! I'm repinning a Kohler and Campbell action and damper action. The
little springs under the sostenuto tabs are nearly impossible to put back in.
Anyone have any hints for me?
I've tried holding them in a variety of ways,a spot of glue, tying them
onto the tab with thread, using a safety pin...........
SOMEONE knows how to do it--someone put them there originally.
