nice...if ya don't have a lot of experience with piston pin clips installation be careful of one flying in your eye....could be the last tie ya put a saw together for fun...
good luck

Another great piece of advice mate!! I love the clear plastic bag trick mentioned above. Would help with protecting eyes at the same time!nice...if ya don't have a lot of experience with piston pin clips installation be careful of one flying in your eye....could be the last tie ya put a saw together for fun...

I typically find the missing one just after I open the bag for its replacement
Thanks mate! I have heard they are super easy to use! The reason I didn’t buy one was because apparently you need different ones for different saws / clip sizes? Is 10mm a common size clip do you know?Hi Tom,
As you like tools for the job.
I might suggest this for next time.

After messing around with the tiny things, and getting ok at doing them with some soft screwdrivers adjusted to hold the clips, this was the same idea as the ones used on bikes and carts years ago.
Bahaha in the beard is brilliant! A little like looking for glasses that are on your head!Hi Tom,

ive got a 10 and 12, does most medium sized saws.Thanks mate! I have heard they are super easy to use! The reason I didn’t buy one was because apparently you need different ones for different saws / clip sizes? Is 10mm a common size clip do you know?
Oh you have the installer! Nice!! Ok I’ll look into itive got a 10 and 12, does most medium sized saws.
I think the 260 is a 10mm circlip too.
I have placed the gallon zip lock bags over a piston while putting clips in before. You can see thru it but it prevents the clip from reaching orbit.
Exquisite work are, Mate! Makes one just want to work better! Yes, the clips thing.... my friend used to call the E-clips "ping" clips. When I asked him why, he said to just wait and see... Sure enough, when I started to take one off it went "piiingg", never to be seen again!!!
They are not for me, I won`t use any but OEM and they must be orientated correctly as well, I have never lost a circlip and never had a failure come back to me, I do want to continue that way.You have set the bar high haha, it was such a great feeling finding it! I had a spare pair but they weren’t OEM, but came with my meteor piston. I put OEM in, but would you have felt just as comfortable with meteor? Or the ones that come with meteor? Thanks again for the installing advice
Haha 2 is good!! One can be tricky!!Lmao!
I disconnected a telescopic polesaw the other day only to find out it was missing the retaining screw for the telscopic guts was gone.
The guts stayed put until I laid it in my truck bed.
Then about 20 parts under spring load hit me in the stomach on freak release.
I found most of them and had to rob parts off a parts saw.
I can trace two flying parts off sound.
Twenty would make the rain man go, "****!"
Thanks for the heads up
Yes I checked that the “C” opening was facing upwards like this “U”
