Interesting,
I placed a pair of pliers on the bench, used it as a support for a repro loading tool. Placed the spring upright above the loading tool (diameter of tool hole and spring was roughly the same, perfect). Slid a small screwdriver through the hole in the hook en pressed the hook down through the spring and the loading tool hole with two hands. Afterwards, it was just a matter of detaching the loading tool again.
