I bought a set of msd'* on here recently for a great price

Yes you can buy the clips at Napa for 0.40 cents, they usually have a tool there and can pinch it for you too.

you can use grease to help you. i usually use di-electric when i do the universal wires, but im sure vaseline would work just as well, and be much cheaper.
