The spring is basically held on by 2 clips on top of the spring and one on the bottom.

I agree that doing this without removing the wheel would be very difficult if it were possible.
I was able to place the new spring by myself by compressing the spring, pushing it up and supporting it from the bottom with a roll of duct tape. I placed the upper two clips then removed the roll of tape, pulled the lower part of the spring down to engage the plastic bottom piece in the hole and placed the lower clip.
