Default Does anybody here use the rectangular BMW lifting pads?

Does anybody here use the rectangular BMW lifting pads aka 'pucks'? If so, how in the heck did you get those things in there? The oblong mounting holes appear to be about the same size, but for the life of me I just can't get them to fit. Do they have to be hammered in and/or trimmed a little? If so, do you have to raise the car in order to do so?

I just can't seem to get enough leverage do to lack of adequate working space. Thanks for your help.

I use them. Three of them were easy to put in. One was hard. I tapped it in with a hammer. I know they won't fall out
