I found this very difficult too. I think I ended up using needle nose pliers at a 90 degree angle to the rod. Pushed them sideways against the spring with great force, then pinched the rod with them to keep them from being pushed off the rod by the spring. Then an assistant put the little clip on the end. I could never get it done by myself.
