Turbo wastegate spring reinstall OMG!!!

I'm replacing a blow turbo wastegate diaphragm on my garrett. Disassembly was easy. But I'm at a loss on reassembly. Reaching under the turbo, compressing the 30-40# spring with three fingers at most, and then tring to rotate it while under pressure looks to be about impossible. Any thoughts?
