How do I fix a lock washer onto an axle?

How can I fix a lock washer onto an axle from a pushchair wheel. It is a very tight fit and I don't want to damage any of the parts.

These are tight as they need to stay on for obvious reasons!! To save your fingers from bruising try to find something that fits snugly onto the washer - say a small diameter metal tube or even better a socket from a socket set if you have one - hold the washer and the tube square with the axle then give it a firm tap with a hammer and it should go on.Faling that take it to your local garage and they might do it for nothing if they`re in a good mood!!
