I was warned so many times “careful, circlips go flying never to be seen again!”
I didn’t doubt this, but I didn’t quite realise just how much energy these little things have! I took the advice of being careful so I put a towel around the piston and my hands. Gave it a little push, lifted my thumb to see and Woooosh! *flingggggggggggg” it went as it literally vanished out my hands, over my shoulder and off into the abyss! Carefully I listened as it went on it’s journey so I had a vague idea of where it was. Some how, some way I found it after a minute of searching! Those little clips have some crazy built up energy!!!!! Thanks @pioneerguy600 for your advice on installing them it worked beautifully!
And thank you @trains for being so supportive and taking me under your wing!
Rebuild has started and coming along nicely
