The Clips are cheap, I think I paid $1... I bought 2-3 cuz I broke a few... it's a PITA.
In fact, if I remember the clip is plastic so it's worth replacing anyhow. I think the key was using a small needle-nose vise-grip on the clip it gave me enough leverage to get the clip to get in.

And 4/32nd's is quite a bit of wear difference, so not too big of a deal.
Since most new tires run about 10-12/32nds... 4/32nds difference minus the 2/32 legal bar area means that you can pretty much have half worn down tires on one axel, and new tires on the other and...

Not too bad, if a battery is completely dead I recommend a slower charge though.
Usually if it's REALLY dead I'll use a 2-4Amp, which usually takes 4-8 hours, but it's easier on the battery.
Some of the new "High Frequency" or "smart" chargers won't charge a really dead...

Walmart/CostCo/AutoZone are all the same Battery (Johnson Controls).
And my local costco quit stocking it also. Sucks because they have a 3 year swap out, 100 month warranty. (Although it is the same battery at all three places... Autozone rips you off at $89 though).
