    Anyone have any tip/trucks to getting wrist pin locks (round wire) installed without shooting them into space or losing my mind? Haha these things are a pita! I walked away before I went crazy! Thanks.

    Yes I saw those but those techniques did not work. I dont have those flat clips I have round wire and there is no way they are bending at all by hand. I know not to try to squeeze them. I will look for more vids.
    When I saw those originally I thought this will be easy! Ha, was I wrong.

    Is it the round spring style? If so you can expand it slightly and work it around into the grove.
