After 45 minutes of cursing the spring installment methods I was trying, I finally figured out the quick n easy method.

Get on your knees and say goodby to your knee bones. Take the spring by hand and come up under the lower hole from under the bike. Slide the spring end into the top of the lower hole, then push up on spring body while also directing to a forward position facing the front of the bike. At the same time use your fingers or pliers to seat the spring into the lower hole. Your spring should now be wedged facing forward ready to grab with needle nose pliers.
As you work the spring into the upright position the bottom will seat into the hole. Now the top spring opening should be facing the top spring hole on the brake lever. Grab it with needle nose and pull up and shove the end into the hole. Once in, use your finger to snap it all the way in. Total time about 3 minutes. Have fun as you all will be doing it sooner than later.
