Yeah small needle nosers work well. Lost a few myself.

Buy the pin with the clip already installed.

 

Ask me how I know. :rofl:

Magnetize your pliers.

I have a couple of spares handy if you suddenly find yourself in need of one.

Don't tap it.  Press it on.  Same goes with roll pins and taper pins.  Like stated above, use needle-nose pliers for the C-clip.  

 

For roll pins, try Vise-Grip or Channel-lock type pliers.  Wrap with tape where prudent.  

 

Always try to PRESS rather than HAMMER.  

 

It took a lot of skint finishes and lost parts for me to figure that out.
