I used to feel this way too, but all it takes is a little practice and you will be a real pro. I have found it is best to start by taping the lugs with electrical tape. Then lay the spring bar (with the bracelet) across the opening. I then use the pinch technique described by Larry to hold the bracelet in place and then I use the large end of the Bergeon 6111 to push in one side, then the other. Hope this helps. Larry's tutorial pretty much lays it all out. Practice makes perfect.
