It's a bitch to lock that clip. It took me over one hour to get it done once
with cuts and bruises as reward.
That valve is simply in the wrong place...

The problem I had was that I could get the valve in fine, but I could not
get the clip that holds the cable to the valve in.  Where does one get more
clips and what is best way of putting it on.
