Default exhaust spring question

the springs where u connect the exhaust to the cat, i pushed the bolt just enough to get the nut on but when i tighten it its really hard cause of the spring, what do people use or how do u get it on there? i was thinking something like a valve spring compresser? to squez the spring down to be able to tighten the bolts? or is there a special tool to put the exhaust on,


sorry if this doesnt make to much since, im running late for class i just wanted to post it really quick Thanks!

I don't use those springs on there anymore. I used some new bolts that don't have the springs. But I have used them on other cars installing exhausts and just pushed it hard to get the nut on.
