Even with a good sized set of ViseGrips, this is still not easy.
Oh boy... that's how to get hurt.
There's an amazingly simple and cheap tool to do that job... Aren't you looking in the service manual?
Hook spring on right side. Move left spring end to left post with tool, over post, rotate tool, and you're done... Used on almost all Stihls.

Just teaching, and so others may learn what to do when they have a spare $1600

It's just a hardened steel tube with 180 degrees cut out on the end. You place it over the post while it holds the spring, then rotate it and it releases the tool, and leaves the spring against the post.

Wow. No wonder I had troubled getting to sleep last night. I wasn't even here to defend myself.
I just got done placing my daily parts order. Seems like I find a couple odds and ends here and there each time I work on it. Guess I robbed too many parts from the pile putting the other two together:angry2:

I have a pair of automotive brake spring pliers that I use. One handle
end of pliers is just what Lake described.

I have done several that way with vise grips. Kind of a pain but it worked for me. After seeing the tool Lakeside and Ultra posted I now have a use for the broken screwdrivers in my garage besides turning them into scratch awls.
