You should always put the springs ni by sliding a small, short screwdriver tip between the coils. Use an Optiviser when doing it. I have done it on N gauge couplers.
Remember #1. Always use tools for something they WERE NOT designed for!!!!!!!!!!!

When I first switched to S Scale I wound up with about 80 AM freight cars to rushed assemble at once. I very quickly took to inserting the centering spring with my thumbs - NO tools. These days I just use tweezers. No subcontractor needed.. What's the hubbub bub?
