Get a length of 1/4" or 3/16" rod or very stiff #9 wire and bend a small hook in one end and a handle of sorts on the other to hang on to. Make it long enough to have room to get a good grip on it. Vice grips on spring steel is a good way to shorten the life of the spring and/or break the end off.
Waa Laa!! Instant custom tool!!
Works for me
