{Speaking in broken chinglish} Young grasshopper... there is much to learn. You must have patience to yield the cupped washers into final resting place. Use three hands to hold the cupped washers, while squeezing them together slightly, and gently slide the clevis into place.

When that zen moment fails, I try to hold the cupped washers in position and "wiggle" the clevis onto the washer's edge. If you're lucky, you can compress the washers as you slide the clevis into position. It's still a pain for me too.
