Tips on installing wire wrist pin clips Anyone have a tip on an easier way to install the round wire wrist pin clips? This is the 4th motor we have built with the wire clips instead of the sprial locks and they are a PITA. Any tips is great!

Once you get the hang of them, wire locks are easier than spiro locks (or atleast quicker). I get one end of the lock started and then use a small screwdriver under the lock to help work the rest in place. Once the lock is in, turn the piston over and tap the wrist pin into the newly installed lock to seat the lock. A socket and rubber hammer works good for this. Repeat this for the other lock as well.
