Brake Retaining Spring What's the trick?

Okay Jag Guru’s I need your input. Is there a trick for getting those retaining springs back on the calipers?
I muscled the darn things on my rear wheels of my 95 today and was thinking there has to be a better way of doing it.

Ok just been through this on the fronts of my’99 XJR.
What I found works is to locate the retainer in the lower hole then grip the top horizontal part of the retainer with a pair on Knipex pliers with the handles vertical, this gives a nice leverage point to ease the retainer into the hole. I used to try to pry it in but as you probably found out thats a bear of a job to do.
