Default Front Brake Anti-rattle Spring Clip

I'm not even sure how I managed to get the right one back on. The left one is killing me. Anybody got a sure fire way to finesse this thing back on?

I use a tie wrap to hold the clip on one end while I slip the other end into position. Then cut off the tie wrap and get a beer.

Yes. So simple. Plus channel locks to coerce the free end.
