If your DeWalt DCF887B Impact Driver has started to shake or malfunction at the job site or at home, it can be because of spring inside the tip of the driver has failed. Luckily, this is a simple fix, and the spring can be replaced with just a pick and this guide.
The spring is placed behind the metal ball spring and the sleeve. The spring provides the mechanisms for releasing and holding the drill bits. Without the spring, the impact driver will start to wobble and will make it difficult to screw in screws adequately.
Make sure that you have a clean surface to work on and not lose any of the small parts.
Remove the driver's battery before beginning.

Getting the hog ring back on is difficult. Is there a tool, besides picks, to help with this?
Nope, patience and diligence. Get one side of the ring completely seated and then slide slowly around the inside of it so widen it as you push down. 2 small drivers can help
