I don't know whether it amounts to a hill of beans, but my partner in crime puts the piston past the rings in to the cylinder before he installs the wrist pin. Easy with that Stihl tool .
Don't think I'd try that without the Stihl tool.

Piston support/Connecting rod holder helps too. I use a filed pointed nail, like Tom showed with the pick, to get the clip started, then the nail head to to push it into the groove. Two homemade tools.
