Today I finally got the trunk lid spring back in place. I took the lid off to make it easier to work inside the trunk. Using a couple of locking pliers I was able to get enough leverage to get the one side to slide into the hinge arm while the other side was hanging down low, but not in position. Once I got the one side into the hinge arm, it was easy to get the other side in position and up on the middle notch. I would say that it ended up being relatively easy, once you've got the right tools. There is no way I'd have gotten it just by hand.
