lots to choose from.

 

Thank you,tb33anda3rd I went there and there is a lots on those springs

 

Grab a handful of flat washers and insert them between the spring coils (with the hood open)'a few at a time, until the tension is off the spring mounts, then the spring can be removed by hand.

 

since I had to remove my hood in order to trim it for the larger radiator, the springs popped off and fell between the fenders. putting them on was a snap with a few dollars worth of quarters and nickels, about a four inch stretch...
