Ralph, I used to wrestle with trying to use needle nose pliers to hook the second eyelet on that gold band when I first started this hobby, until I figured out the spring gave enough stretch to be able to pop the band on and off without unhooking it. That is, go ahead and hook it first, then work it on. One or two I can remember were so tight that this would bend the spring hooks (weak spring maybe) but for most of them this routine works great.
