Tamiya?
The e-clips are a bastard.
Use needle-nose pliers and with the first one, my only advice is to squeeze against the complete half to slowly “drift” the clip onto the shaft. The secret is keeping it perpendicular to the shaft. Other angles result in a lengthy search for the absconded clip.
With the first one installed and the piston in place, you can use that assembly on which to rest the second clip to keep it perpendicular.
There are e-clip pliers, but they’re a bit unnecessary.
