If you'll make a tool similar to this, the bushings won't be as bad but still a bit of PIA. Just a regular C clamp with a concave contour ground in the fixed pad to keep from slipping off the rounded clip top. You can get an idea of how much in the picture.
Put the clip in holes first and see about how much space you have with the tabs all the way forward. That will give you an idea of the thickness of wedge needed. They need to stay forward for easier install. The clips are brittle and the tabs will break off if subjected to a lot of mishandling or being cocked too much when installing.
