Door spring

Door spring
My 97 Blazer died and I got a 98 Jimmy. The door spring from the Jimmy is missing and I'm trying to replace it with the spring from the Blazer door.
I have the tool and the spring is compressed but I can't get it out. I've been scouring the 'net looking for tips on getting it out but all I find is how to install them. Nothing on uninstalling.
Any help?

Thanks for the reply. By “slots” I'm thinking you're referring to the coils, no?
As far as nimble goes – that ship sailed some time ago.
I can try getting the tool in the furthest coils but it is tight in there... not much room to work.

Got it. The tip about half closing the door enabled me to force the tip of a screwdriver in to the end and, some finagling later, the whole thing sprang out.
Gonna get the guy loaned me the tool to put it in the Jimmy.
