I've used the rope trick recently. String actually, not rope. Feed in a few yards, and wind the piston up to TDC. Lock the crankshaft securely by tieing the handle of the wrench to the steering pump.
You don't need a special tool to compress the springs - just a tire lever with a large hole in the end, and a 2" bit of pipe with a cutaway so that you can extract the valve stem collets. Hook the lever onto the nearest camshaft bearing bracket bolt using a large washer.
The stem seals just push on neatly over the end of the bush.
