I've used ratchets straps before...... They make all kinds of tools for the job. Then again, seems as though the OEM's could come up with something other than a huge spring to fight and still maintain belt tension

Clutch spring install
I was replacing the drive belt on my riding mower when it came to the clutch spring one idea was to use a ratchet strap I had this turn buckle and it worked great to stretch the spring, a lot better than the Chanel locks I was going to use.
