We still teach our noobs how to string wires as we have some out there still require it. It is an art to do it correctly IMO, and some folks have a hard time with it. Working on the Canon CLC production devices all day long you get really good stringing wires as they had 11 that needed replacing at every PM cycle.

RE: Spring hook and a roll of corona wire.
Use the hook end of your spring hook to twist a loop in the end of the new corona wire, by rolling the metal spring hook in your fingers 5 or 6 twists. Using your fingers force the loop down the tapered shaft of spring hook until perfect larger loop is formed. Remove the loop off the spring hook an place under the screw on the corona electrode and tighten down. With one end of the corona wire screwed in place, measure out the corona wire with the tension spring insitu on the corona frame and twist one turn around the end of the spring eye. Flip the tension spring off the corona frame and twist the entire spring multiple times through your fingers until the corona wire is firmly fixed around the end of the tension spring. Snip the unused corona wire off the roll next to the spring, and then fit the completed wire and spring back into position on the corona frame.

The above also works in reverse. You can twist the tension spring onto the new corona wire first, then measure out to the other end of the corona frame wrap the new corona wire under the electrode screw tighten down and then snip off any excess wire.

Either Or works, depending on the corona frame an ease of access.

Perfect description on how to string those wires. bravo.
