Use a spring compressor to put them back but just socket and hammer to remove them. Can do a whole head in 30 seconds.
Also when putting them back together, use a bit of grease on the collets because otherwise they are right fiddly little bastards to get to stay where you want them lol

And damage the spring cups, lose the collets and spend 30minutes finding them!? Such a pikey way to do it. I never have, never will.

I highlighted the grease in my tools bit at the beginning!!?

Doesn't damage the spring cups. Only need a light tap. And you don't loose the collets if you know how to do it. Ive done loads and never lost a single one!
You keep the socket on the top of the spring, twat it and make sure you don't remove it straight away. Bingo, collets stay in the socket.
