Brake install questions

Front brakes:
Does anyone have a good way to keep the small spreader springs installed between the pads while the pads are being installed into the retainer clips/caliper?

Rear brakes:
I could not get my rear rotors off. I made sure the parking brake was off and I can get the rotor to rotate. They simply will not budge. I sprayed penetrating lube at the rotor hub and even whacked them from behind with a deadblow hammer.

Thanks a ton.
