Is there a technique for fitting the cirlip into the recess in the piston without scuffing the piston skirt?

I managed it after a lot of huffing and puffing but I did put a couple of light scratches in the piston skirt which i polished out so no harm done there but I thought there must be an easier way of doing it.

I normally work on car engines and the pistons are slightly harder in car engines, I was suprised at how soft the 2 stroke kart ones are.
