It's perseverance wot done it. Blue-tacked the disc to the end of me pliers. I've since discovered there is a tool specially made for those buggers. Maybe I'll get one before I do the other side.......once my wounds have healed...

Hold cap with pliers, with free hand hold pin on rear of plate. Push cap in with pliers, rotate pin with other hand

I just use needle nose pliers. Hold the back of the pin push the cap on until you can grip the pin, then use your hand to hold disc while you spin the pin with the pliers.
Easy once you learn the technique
