I did this yesterday, just secure the end of the hair spring in the hole, then wrap the rest round top of the free hub so it doesn't snap into the channel.
Then you can pop the pawls in one by one, moving the hair spring down to hold each one as you go.
I used a 1mm Alan key to hook under the wire.
Takes maybe 20 seconds.
