SRP Piston/wrist pin/rod assembly???

does any one have these pistons or any with similar little wrist pin retainer clips. if so do you have any tips or tricks to getting them in place with out breaking them?

it takes 4 clips per piston, 2 per side of pin, but they are so flimsy im afraid of bending them too much or breaking them.

so any advice would be great.

Use your fingers to start one end of the spiral lock. That is, get one end free or loose of the spiral. Work your way around until you work your way to the other end. Once you get one, the rest are a piece of cake. But they take time to do 32 of them
