Jack,I have these style clips on the Wiseco pistons I've recently purchase=
d for TR3, TR6 and Sprite engines. I didn't have any issue getting them in =
or out (to quote Tony "don't ask me why I know this"). I put one end in and=
then just press it in as I push it towards the center. I used a piece of w=
ood dowel with a slot sawn into it to help. A small scribe in the notch wor=
ked fine to get them started out and didn't damage the piston or coating.
Hope this helps!Jake
