i broke several new clips trying to install them, they are so fragile that if you try to bend them at all they snap
ive broken some trying to put hubcap on why
do they need to be bent to match old clips
i was using a bolt as the back side support to hammer rivit top against
are there any tricks or tips to install these ? |

| There is a tool designed for this. I don't remember the manufacturer's name but if you do a search here in the forums I'm sure you'll find it. |

There are different quality clips out there (as with anything else).
I know WW and BFY have the tool you need, probably for rent or purchase. |

| First get the tool, then get the GOOD clips form W/West. I learned this one the hard way. Check E-bay for the tool, usually $20. |
