<div>I use two thin screw drivers to compress the spring. And leave a gap to see
the hole in the handle.</div>
<div>I use a straight pick and use masking or electrical tape to tape the pin to

something long and sharp like a woodworkers bradawl, compress the mechanism

intend to insert the pin. The awl will be strong enough to hold the mechanism

Numerous options after you have compressed the gubbins to expose the spindle
and hole including surgical locking forceps to hold the pin secure while you
insert it or use coat hanger wire, sawn through about half inch from the end,
insert it and then bend to break off the end remaining in the handle
