Default Hks ssq snap ring having some trouble

What tool did you guys use to install the c clip for the bov? I have the correct tool but I got it from harbor freight...maybe thats where I made the mistake lol.
Any way, I'm having trouble setting that c clip to install the bov into the charge pipe. Any tips or tricks would be nice thanks

I probably have the same HF snap ring plier set as you do, it stinks. I broke the tips off of one trying to install my old HKS. Use the biggerst size that will fit and one that has the angled tips. Come in from the side. And tape up the HKS if you dont want to scratch it up. I hate this design, its part of the reason why I traded it for a Tial.

Use angled tips!

Its probably not the tool, this takes practice. It took me almost an hour the first time, and like 45 minutes the second time, it takes time!!
