Rebuilding inertia type starter motor

PNP

I've dropped my the inertia type starter motor of my 68 SC Auto off at a local Auto electrician to have brushes and bushes put through it before it gets reinstalled. The front bush does have a bit of play in it. The Auto electrician is hesitant to take the spring off the front in case he can't recompress it. Is there a trick to it? Do you need a specific tool?
 
He needs a bendix spring compressor:

Thanks Demetris, I have generic kits of this type of equipment at work. Will fashion something up.
 
Hi, There's a rebate on the other side to stop the spring from sliding out inadvertently. I'm sure a dab or three of weld would do the same.
