I am replacing the balance and hairspring on a EB-8800 movement. I am new to the hobby. I can not figure how to reassemble the spring clips holding the hairspring finger and regulator to the balance. I would appreciate any help or recommended tool

Welcome to watch repair!

I have no experience with that calibre, but I think they should just push on over the boss on the cock, first the regulator, then the stud carrier over it and about 90 degrees rotated from it. No special tools required. It should end up looking something like this:

Lesson: take photos as you disassemble that you can refer to as you reassemble. If you're already doing that, the lesson is to take more photos!
