Doug, I have a Craftsman 1/2" breaker bar that I use.  The spring fits perfectly in the hole at the end of the handle.  It is long enough that it gives me plenty of leverage to install or remove the springs.  Before that I was using a large pair of channel lock pliers.  The breaker bar is an incredible improvement.
