Re-fitting bonnet springs???

How the hell do you put the bonnet springs back on. This is for my 71 Fasty. There must be some way of stretching these without getting hernia????

Thanks.

I use a pipe or flat piece of steel with a hole in it so I can get a better grip . Over the hook end.

Thin rope or similar

attach to the bonnet before fitting it to the hinges use 2 or 3 people to fit the bonnet
