I always used a setting tool that was made to squeeze the springs --kinda like tongs with notches in the ends and a hinge that would let you squeeze them far enough to get the keeper over the springs.
The ones I have work great and aren't near as elaborate as the ones pictured. I will take a pic of mine and post them if I can find them.
