Has anyone else had to replace the latch that holds the fuel lid closed?

After taking out thes split pin that holds it in place the spring that places tension on the latch drops down.

How the hell do you get it back in as when I try to put the split pin back in I have to push against the spring with the latch and it forces the spring down so that the split pin can no longer go through the centre of it and hold it in place.

The whole mechanism is held into place by an one allen screw that looks to be only accessable if the guard is off.
