71 Suzuki TS50 "Gaucho" Help

[coalnation]

I am having a lot of trouble securing the clutch springs to the clutch plate. I have to somehow pull the spring out far enough to slide the pin through. Anyone have any tips or tricks to get this done?

How it was when I got it...

How it sits as of today...

Based on the pic , it looks you can just use a spring hook:

I had something like that, it was to large to fit in the hole, bent it up a little and it worked great.

So I got the bike put back together, gave it a little kick and..... well it caught for a second but then started making a clicking noise. I know which parts I need to replace but unfortunately I'll have to split the cases to get this done. I've gotten it down to the case screws but I'm having no luck with getting them out. I have been using an impact driver.

Any suggestions?
