How to remove hood springs?

who needs chevy and ford simple!!??? there would be NO car challenge!!???? the AAR and TA of course had the spring type deal, but had a much smaller spring than the steel hood cars. i just had to installed the tension on my 65 cuda hood springs, i had to use a come a long to pull them back ( o k so i'm old and slightly wore out!!???)
maybe someone will have other idea. but i think no way to use the stock spring deal. 4 pin lift off type deal like the 69 1/2 b body m code cars????
