A couple tips. Buy spare springs. Sucks to break one and not have a spare.
Don't pull backwards! That's how I always break my springs. I haven't actually broken one in a few years since I learned that. Keep going forward. Never pull it towards you.
It's also a good opportunity to sharpen your blade while you have it off. A quick Dremmel works wonders.

I see the one that you're referring to with the spring tines. It looks like a better quality one. I had seen those but thought the springs and everything were just a special method for mouting the blade for a specific lawnmower, so I didn't really look into that any further.
My main concerns were that it a) works, and b) doesn't mangle my lawn. It looks like the one that you are using seems to be the better choice though.
