Trying to get my pistons in today bought a ring compressor for 25 quid it wouldnt compress the rings properly then I overtightened it and broke the tool. Anyone got any ideas to get the things in?
 
you're doing it wrong if it wont compress the rings........or you didn't gap them so they were too large for the groove


anyway mole grips and some thin sheet steel in a cylinder with two flat pieces coming off to grab and compress on
