IBM Thinkpad help

This is probably a useless post but I'm completely stuck.

My 'J' key has come off and I can't get it back on. There are four pins on the back that need to slot into four metal loops on the base, and I can't get it to go. Is there a trick to this? Does anyone know how to do it?

EDIT: ALL HAIL ME
(much fiddling, and working out the right order to wiggle the pegs in: it is still wonky, so will have to spellcheck anything with a J in it.)

If you've got something slightly curved it helps - I've used the end point of a nail file in the past...
