if you don't have an impact wrench, a big (i mean BIG) pair of channelocks will let you hold the top spring perch (gold piece) which is fixed to the shaft/male threads. kind of awkward to get up there, i haven't tried it myself but just wanted to offer that suggestion. big channelocks also work great to compress a brake piston when you're replacing pads.
