Tricks to installing Spiral Locks into pistons?
Anybody got any tricks to putting these things in? Is there a tool specifically made to install Spiral locks? Those little buggers are a pain to compress and get inside the pin hole.

Got the last set of locks on the pistons. I guess you just have to pinch them with your hands and push them in the old fashion way.

I used a ball point pen tip, to push the lock to the groove....after once or twice, you'll get used to it
