Tip to get Body Clips In/Out Post

I added some titanium body post to my Infraction but WOW they hard to insert/remove the metal clip in/out the post. Any tips anyone can offer or else I will just go back to the plastic post that works better. Not sure if I need a thinner clip if so any recommendations or maybe there is a tip that can be shared that would help. Thx

Slightly bend the body clip a little with some pliers or a screwdriver. Just enough so its not loose or painful to put in

If it's a PITA, just use thinner clips.

Not really, collected many different kinds over the years, I have some thin ones that are so much easier to get on and off unlike the stock Arrma and Traxxas clips. Probably got them on Ebay, they're cheap when you buy a bundle. Here's a pick, stock Traxxas clips, top, thin ones, bottom.

I put the round end into my vise and lightly tap them to bend them some with a small hammer... flipped them over and spread them slightly with a screwdriver. They go in and out a lot easier now.
