i'm having trouble putting the wrist pins through the piston with the rod in it.. i used assembly lube and it isn't making it too easy.. can i lightly tap it in?

also, the little clips or whatever, how do i put them in the piston where they are supposed to go.. i can't compress them enough. any tips?

i managed to wedge in the clips on one side, slide the wrist pin through, but i can't get the other side of the clip in the piston..
