excelguru,
Lynn Park has a template that he will send or sell you that will permit you to align the pins properly. Once this is done they come on and off real easy. Call him. Also if you are stronger and more persistent than you are smart (me), once you get them on and drive for a while the pins will pretty much straighten themselves and on and off is easier. Even then the template is a good idea as you can use it to see which pins are not perfectly perpendicular and straighten them. Once done, on and off is a snap. I have one set with street tires and one with slicks and the swap is easy.

Cheers, Pete

PS be sure to use anti seize on all metal to metal contact.
