Do you need a special tool to compress them when refitting following fork seal change ?

Thanks

No chris. If I remember right just a bit of brute force and ignorance ( I have ample of both ). 
It can be a little fiddly trying to push the spring down, with the plug (trying to get the first thread). You need to have the forks secured/still, so you have both hands available. 
hope that helps, cheers freddy
