I used needle nose pliers to twist the spring and then pushed the hinge pin with the other hand.

really needle nose pliers, I tried that, guess I need stronger glasses, and some more patience.

-Place the cover in the open position between the two holes
-insert the hinge pin through the rear hole until it is visable about half way into the opening where the spring goes.
- slide the spring over the hinge pin with the little side up and to the rear
- using your finger, twist the long side of the spring clockwise 1 time, resting it on the cover
- push the hinge pin all the way in
- install the c-clip
