the reason why the pin got changed was that when at a later date the disc/drum has to come off, the pins rip the backplate.

Its fiddly to get the spring clip over the end but not impossible, I gather every time you try to compress the spring the pin is moving back wards?? I can usually get at least one finger round to hold the pin and get the clip over the spring, or get a bar.screwdriver or something to wedge the pin so it wont move

welcome to the world of mechanics :D
