I cant get enough force onto the washer and keeping the back of the pin steady enough. Is there a special tool for it or a technique?

You can't get the rear jaw of the channel locks on the head of the link pin and then angle the channel locks to where the front edge of the jaw will push one side of the pushnut to get it started and then switch to the other side of the pushnut and working your way around it until it's all the way on.
Does that make sense?
