1) The 160 spring eye will be to large to work effectively on a 110 frame.
2) Take a look at your project trap. How would removing a frame rivet help in removing your springs?
3) removing a BG spring. Place the spring in a vice. You want to capture part of the spring arm and closed end of the spring eye. Twist the open end of the spring eye to about a 45 degree angle in relationship to the arm. Repeat on other spring eye. Remove your old spring, replace with a new one and close the spring eyes.
4) It is usually more cost effective to buy good used body-grip's than to replace springs
5) Replacing large BG springs is not for the weak of heart or those on blood thinners

put the end of the spring eye in your bench vise and twist a tad That's my preferred method.
