K98 Sight hood?

[Winterborn]

Hey guys I'm trying to install a new sight hood on my RC k98. what way would you suggest I do this? I've heard so many different remedies but I want to see what the experts on here say

I have a pair circlip pliers that spread open when you squeeze the handle. I bought it to put the Delta ring on my AR15. I used it to spread out the sight hood enough to get it onto the front sight. I bought the pliers at Harbor Freight in Baton Rouge. But I think there's a Harbor Freight in Alex. They made an otherwise impossible job pretty easy.
