[SEL] piston rings

[Germoamer at aol.com]

Over the years I have used piston ring pliers, (I have several), for  small 
rings, borrowed a larger set from a truck repair shop for larger  rings, 
used hacksaw blades with set removed for installation shims, and fought  them 
in other ways to get on the piston.  Getting ready to install some new  
rings on a 5 inch piston, and the shim method is a bear with just two  hands.  
Maybe it is time to invest in a large set of ring pliers. Anyone  got a 
favorite trick that they use to install the larger rings?
