Question Trick to using spring compressor on w123?

I bought one of the JTC 1801 spring compressors so I could replace the LCA bushings (and lower ball joints while I'm in there already)... but I can't get the top through the hole in the body of the car so it can seat properly on the top plate.

Has anyone else had this problem?

It is very close, an extra 2-3mm clearance would be all that's needed.. What am I supposed to do, grind the hole in the car 2-3mm larger or something?
