rear axle c clip installation

I'm replacing my rear axles. I have the old ones out and have the new ones and the spacers in place Taking the old cl[ps out was harder than expected . Now I need to put them back in. Does anyone have any advice on doing this? The instructions I've seen for this job don't really address the question . The clips are not the type you can use regular snap ring pliers to install This a common job so, how have others done it? Thanks for your help.

On chevys you just use a magnet on a stick tool.
