Those who have installed spring upgrades know that with a stronger spring, the more strength is required to compress it to get it in the gearbox.

Aside from being 1) really careful, 2) getting assistance from a 2nd person (2-man job), 3) or sheer brute force, what other methods do you use?

I haven't upgraded or used a sniper rifle before so perhaps installing a high tension spring into a bolt-action is a bit easier, or at least different.

Knowing and abiding by safe FPS regulations and laws, and hypothetically speaking, how would you install (arbitrarily grabbing a random high tension spring) a 190% spring into a mechbox?
