Default 1970 external door handle removal !

Anyone have a thread or a tip on how to replace the clip on the actuator arm after removing the external flush door handle? Is there a special tool?
Or is there a trick to re-install. I had to use a magnet to recover the clip and the locknuts after they fell to the bottom of the door. Newby on the c3 repairs and maintenance. My fat hands do not fit into such small places!
Would appreciate any input!

Respectfully and Thanks,

I use a real long pair of needle-nose pliers.

That is what I used the last time my clip fell off. I have some long needle nose pliers with a slight bend.....works like a champ. Seems like the only tool that will do the job.
