    It wasn't me who posted that, but I will say that I came up with the very same approach it it makes a tedious and frustrating job almost painless. Almost anyway ...

    I just use a Phillips head screwdriver that will fit inside the springs. With that, it is easy.

    FWIW when the springs are new I set the flat end of the rod on a a table top or bookshelf to push it through the springs into the hole. Works for me anyway.

    This is my method, too. This way you can use your weight to compress the springs while you try to get the guide rod through the front hole, instead of just hand strength.
