This method is not for everyone. I had the same issue of the Clips breaking and got out My Drill Motor and Tungstun Carbide Rotary File and enlarged the slots on the Broken Clips so I could get Wrench on the Nuts.
Instead of replacing the broken Clips I bougth som thin Staniless Steel Nuts with a Flange on one side and slid those into the enlarged Slots and used a Never Sieze type Compound on the Bolts so they would not rust up again.
I did the above because I did not want to by the Clips from the Local Dealer and I did not have an Internet Parts Order to make shipping the Clips economical.
I am also lucky to have an Industrial Hardware Store with in walking Distance.
