Tips for installing valve body in Toyota auto transmission U140E?

I need some tips/help reinstalling the valve body in my '01 Lexus ES300. The one of the accumulator pistons will not stay in the bore because of spring pressure and there is also another spring next to it that must remain in place. I also have to install a check ball valve and line up the manual shift valve with the linkage. Is there an easier process to use to reinstall it? I have used petroleum jelly to hold the spring in place and the check valve. The assembly gets heavy trying to push the springs together to get the bolt on. Should I use a floor jack? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
