Default Installing CPU fan

I just bought a Zalman CPU fan model #CPNS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler.
Now, I've built PCs and usually I install the stock fan and use a screw
driver to push down on the side to get it clipped onto the mobo. This fan
seems a little too big and do you think I should use the same procedure to
install this one?
I don't want to mess it up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
attilahthehun1
PS Gary, I don't need to be reminded to bring it to a PC tech. Otherwise
I'd not be asking this question. Gary, if you've ever installed a Zalman,
which I doubt, you'd know what I'm talking about. This one is a bit hard.

The spring clip has much more tension then most CPU fans. Has anyone
installed this fan by just manually pushing down on it, or did you have to
use a screwdriver as usual. Be precise, please.
Thanks, attilathehun1

He's already had this explained to him numerous times in the other group.

If it doesn't feel quite right don't do it. I had one that felt like it was
taking too much pressure and it turned out another fan was a better fit.

And the clips are all different. Some are too tight, some are too loose,
some don't fit.

I don't want to be addressed in 3rd person. I'm no troll. Ok, you want to
know the truth. No, I'm not telling you the truth, you can't handle the
truth.
What have I had explained to me in another group? Either I should use a
screwdriver, or not. It takes a certain amount of pressure to apply or
install a CPU fan. It takes half as much, usually, of lbs. of pressure to
remove a CPU fan. I've done my Compaq Presario a number of times with a
sdrewdriver. I'm just wondering if there is a certain precise different way
of installing this Zalman.
If you don't know the answer, don't feel bad. That's why we are here, to
help one another.
Ok, again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

(Gary's someone in the other group he was bugging about some similar
questions). Besides which, this question has been answered already, in
general terms. Hell, I even answered it, in general terms. But such
specifics for Zalman? Google is your friend. And "Attila the hun"?
LOL. Yeah, right! (You're a millenium or two out of place, boy).
