Bilstein Shocks...

Hey all I have a 1973 280sel 4.5. Im installing bilstein H.Ds on my car. Now I have the front shocks torn out, Took me about 20 minutes for both. Now the problem is that When I try to compress the shocks to go through the shock tower the shock will not compress at all! Is their any way I can compress the shock by hand or can I take it too a shop? This problem is keeping me from putting the shock in. Any suggestions would help, this is my first time working with shock absorbers.

Thanks!
-Keenan
