These damn things are insanely stiff and I'm having a helluva time getting them in. Any tricks before I mess my pistons up lol?

Thought the exact same thing when I did mine
What did you end up doing to get them in? Muscle them?
spring lok's? did you stretch them out?
They are the wire circlip style. Pulled straight out of the package and tried installing in the one side. They are just really thick. I tried using my thumbs and had indents in my thumb for 20 minutes.
Two smaller screwdrivers (what I mean is you don't need pry bar sized ones). Work them around little by little. That is how I have done them and the way that scratches the piston the least.

John Laing
"The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
-- Alexis de Tocqueville
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
--Ayn Rand
"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
-- Justice Antonin Scalia
