Guess I can give some tips, I've done it a bit. Use the radius on the back of your pliers, and bend the wire over this. Gives you a good "hook" shape to put on the lock-bar, and you'll just have to snip off the straight section. Then to bend the radius which forms the spring, I usually just wrap it around my finger, and this will give you a good starting radius. Put the lock-bar in the liner, and press the hook up against it and then bend the wire at its tail end until it's inline with the hole you'll need to drop it into Make sure the bend in the wire is small enough to fit in the recess carved into the handle, then mark the wire where the hole is. Snip, bend, and it should pop right in.
I've had to do it a few times now, and yeah it's kind of a pain to get the wires bent right. Biggest challenge I find is making sure the bends don't make the spring tilt off-center to one side, since this will make it rub the liners and feel nasty. I just take them back out and fine tune them by putting them in the liner with the handles over, and seen how it feels to pull the lock-bar back and forth. Just bend and tweak until it feels good, so this way I can generally get the springs fit and mounted all in between disassemble and reassembly. Typically I find the most major tweak needed is to bend the tail where the notch goes into the hole, to be perfectly aligned with the hook that catches the lock-bar. If these aren't aligned, the radius that forms the spring will bulge out or inward and won't be smooth.
One thing I figured out that will save you some time, is to make a couple different sets of spring at one time. Next time you'll need to replace them, you'll already have them premade.
