Anschutz 520 - spring tool?

[Puds]

I picked up an Anschutz 520 .22LR rather cheaply last week, and decided to give it a strip and clean before chucking a scope on it as it looked minging inside. Strip & clean, easy peasy.

However, I've now spent 2hrs trying to get the bloody bolt spring back in. I've had a look elsewhere & it recommends using a special tool to hold it in, but no pictures of said tool. Anyone got any ideas (before I reach for the lumphammer)?

Don't panic! I have the tool which I can either photograph for you or if you send me your postal details I will get it in the post to you first thing tomorrow morning so you have it (Hopefully) for Tuesday.
Come to think of it I will try to photograph it and put the photos on this thread!

OK Guys. For those who decide to strip their "Anny" down without the spring tool to reassemble it with here is what the tool looks like. Hopefully these photos will help you to make a tool up that will do the job. The ridge or rib that runs down the centre of the tool is (From what I can see) serves no other purpose than to strengthen it and might not be needed.
If anyone comes really unstuck they are welcome to borrow the tool from me as a pattern.
Hope this helps.
Here are the photos:

Think I've got one lying about if you want it. It's not an original but does the job

Used an old steel rule, some time with the hammer over a bit of threaded bar, and the Annie is now back together again. Cheers gents!

Happy to hear that you are now sorted!

I don't suppose anyone has a spare one of these do they? I have made the fatal error of stripping mine without having one of the tools to hand...

Thanks guys

I made one out of a bit of flat box profile sheeting
Cut a strip of tin about 6” long 1/12 wide and use the shaft of a Phillips as a former to bend the end of the tin over to form the hook part of the assembly tool with a hammer job done

You don't need any tools, use some fishing line to tie it together, from memory the spring needs to be compressed to stay on the guide. Slide it into the receiver and use a plumbers torch to burn off the nylon.
Simples!
