Exclamation tips on installing new springs on a Jesel Shaft mount s/u

well i began to pull "dead" and some broken (inner spring) valve springs.

i have the jesel shaft mount setup, and am using the moroso tool to do the swap. i have a good understanding, just wondering if you guys have any tips or tricks that make it easier to place the keepers in on the first try.

tia!
