Bruce,
You don't want to depress each spring finger individually, that's a very tough way to do this. You need to either push the throw-out bearing towards the flywheel and compress all the fingers at once. The throw out bearing just sits on the slave arbor so it can be moved rearward on it's own. The other approach is to space the clutch cover away from the flywheel so that the fingers are depressed against the throw-out bearing. As an example Saab provided a special tool to dealers that was a long pry bar with a fork on the end that would force the throw-out bearing towards the flywheel and compress the fingers. As Tushy mentioned, if you can pump up the slave and make it work even just once that's all you need to do. If it won't work at all then the technique for spacing the clutch cover away from the flywheel is pretty effective. It's referred to "Three fat nuts" around here because it entails inserting hex nuts between the cover and flywheel systematically until you've compressed the spring fingers enough to allow installing the ring tool.
