It's difficult but possible.
If you take the b tension screw out you can use that tab and a pair of pliers to twist (pre load) the spring and push it into place, then snap the clip into place.
I've done a few over the years. If you've got a big, clear bag, do it inside there, so when you slip the spring doesn't go too far...... (and you will slip......
)

Whilst keeping the tab in place under tension how is it possible to tap the clip in at the same time?
3 hands, practice, a vice, more practice, strong thumbs.
You need to hold the plate tight up against the mech body, its possible to use the stop on the other side of the plate to prevent it unwinding, then you need to force the clip in.
It's not easy, you will probably end up cursing.

Two hands, weak fingers, no tools, no scratches ... ;-)

All Ti bolts were spun up in the drill to put a nice brushed finish on them
Mech bolt was the swapped in the same way as I did on the Bear Valley :
WD Pro":2t6cew5h said:Although I had changed the bolt to a Ti one on my old 735 I couldn’t remember how I changed it (20 years ago
So you can twist it quite easily and hold it down all with one hand :
