Simply put all your plates (corks and steels etc) on your clutch compressor and give it a bit of tension so the top plate is slightly compressed. The feed your springs in and seat them, followed by your plates. Tighten up the compressor then add the circle.

What sort of compressor are you using
the wind up type that screws on to a stud top and bottom. My explanation isn't particularly good, but I find that if hang the corks and steels on the wind up bit in the correct order, then screw in a bit, I can squeeze the springs in behind the basket then pop the steels/ corks on plus the circlip.

Works OK for me and I've got thick fingers!
