RE: clutch shoes
Use some needle nose pliers. Grip and pull the spring over the nut. If you dont have a pair, use a screwdriver thick enough that it wont bend when using force. Use the end as a lever and pop it down, while pushing the shoe down with a finger.

RE: clutch shoes
Did washers come with the shoes? I've found that when you use the washers, the springs don't seem to want to stay in the groove on the center nut (and are are more difficult to install). I leave the washers out and suffer the flywheel wear. Doesn't seem to affect performance though.

RE: clutch shoes
The flywheel wear is weird.....looks like some sort of pitting. I would have expected scraping.
Not sure I like aluminum clutch shoes. A lot of flash to be trimmed off fairly often.
Back to the question....as Go-To says...flat bladed screwdriver, fingers and possibly a few band-aids if you slip with the screwdriver. It's mostly a dexterity thing.
