What's the trick for installing a Deore HS locknut dust seal?

The vexing little gizmo is slowing me down big time. Is there some trick to sticking it back in place? I keep inserting the spring ring, then trying to put the seal into the locknut. Every time the spring pops out of the rubber seal. Am I supposed to have a tool for this? More patience? More coffee? Bigger hammer?
