I use needle nose plyers and a knife.
Hold the ring with the plyers and then incert the knife [about 1/4 turn away from the end of the ring wire] to open up a gap so the new ring can be installed on the lure.
After you get the new ring stuck through the eye on the lure..... then you also put the new tribble hook on the split ring. Using the plyers, rotate the split ring so that the ring turns to mount the split ring and the new hook at the same time.
