Installing wire locks on wrist pin

[crusher966]

I am used to installing spiral locks into the piston wrist pin but how do I install the wire locks? I am sorry if this is under a inappropriate category its the only one that I am currently able to post in.

1st time is pretty tuff,

Place one end on the Piston grove to hold one lock end and use your thumb to press in the other half...

Ive seen people use flat heads but that can lead to scratches..
