David99,
Nothing is going to make you feel better. I know because in 40 years, I have busted a BP Special and a Clearaudio Sigma Wood just trying to mount them. Slipped finger on the BPS, and big, big pins on the Clearaudio. Funny how this doesn't happen when you are mounting inexpensive cartridges. You won't feel better, but, at least, you are not alone --- many of us have been there.
