I didn't have access to compressed air when I did it years ago and got advice from someone to remove the plug, thread a good length of soft cotton string into the combustion chamber, and then to manually turn the piston to TDC. The ball of string compresses against the valve allowing you to compress the spring. Worked a charm!
