One of my colleagues made a tool to remove and replace the tower spring for a seminar we conducted for our local club. The tool clamped onto a bench vice and was easy to use.

I kinda like that one. I have done the "cut the wires method" (which works but is a little crude and who knows when the thin wires might actually break) and made one of the tubular tools with the hole in the side and ball on the operator end (which works too but one has a sense of pushing down with one's head and upper body aligned EXACTLY in line with the projectile and lest that c-clip find its way out the hole.)
Getting out of the line of fire has a lot to recommend. The only downside I see is making sure the fork tool is "low profile" in comparison with the slotted c-disk and one can get the fork tool out from under without upsetting the alignment.
I'd like to see a better pix of the fork tool. The rest is welding and leverage.
