Default Door handle assembly

Could anyone tell me if I need a special tool to install the outside door handle rod clip? If I do not, then can you tell me what I need to do? I have tried needle nose, I've tried a elongated medical tool. Both to no avail.

Thanks

Install? It just slides into place. Then you plug the rod into it.

I always put the rod on the handle first, then drop it down the hole, and attach the rod at the bottom. I find it is alot easier to hook up there, than try to do it at the handle, once it is in the door.
