[V8] Clutch overspring Q

[Ingo Rautenberg]

So I've replaced the clutch pedal and clutch master, but that overspring is giving me a real headache. Looks like I have to figure a way to compress it before installing, and maximum extension is with the clutch pedal fully depressed. Any pointers? 

Otherwise I'll have to rig some steel wire to hold it after compressing with Channel Locks. I tried Zip Ties, but they just couldn't handle the tension. 

TIA
