Just go down to Autozone and buy a ring compressor tool. They're cheap and it's the only way to do it without risking misaligning the rings and/or scratching your piston and cylinder wall. It is really a production model of what Ol'George was talking about, but made with precision spring steel, so you don't scratch anything. The thing doesn't run more than probably $10, but it's one of those things that when you need it you really wish you had one.
