I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Like Chuck, I prefer to use a little bit of lubrication and my thumb.
It does not take very much to push them into place.

Make sure to use Suzuki Moly grease or similar Moly-Ep grease, as using grease with additives will mess up your wet clutches when it mixes into the oil, same as using "resource conserving" stamped oil for modern cars in your wet clutch bike.'77 GS750 920cc heavily modded

The reason we all use our fingers or a socket is so that we do not damage them while going on (that and there's no need to buy an expensive tool). They are very fragile and a bit of care needs to be taken when seating them, meaning don't 'hammer' them down etc...it doesn't take much to seat them.Rob

A few drops of motor oil, simple 3-in-1 oil, even some Vaseline will work just fine.
