I was just wondering how the hell these things go in. They are not normal snap rings that I'm use to... with the two holes that you can use snap wring pliers on.
Thanks in advance for any help

 

You need to carefully pull them apart like a spring and just start with one end in your piston groove and twist them in. hope this helps.

 

Or in other words feed the rest in in the same motion as the rings untill all is in.

 

ohhh ok, thanks alot

 

is there any other way? I'v been trying for over an hour and it just keeps binding up and wont screw in past 1/4 of the way.

 

If you are having a problem installing the locks send me your pistons and rods and I will install them for you.

I just got done doing this, stretch the rings a little so they look like coil springs. Put the end in towards the bottom first, then push the rings down into the pin bore as much as possible, then take a ballpoint pen and "trace" around the circumference of the circle until it pops into the groove. Also if you apply a twisting force you can make the clip flex enough to decrease the diameter, and then it will go in easier.

 

thanks guys, i actually just got done installing them. .. .tricky little suckers

 

nice one
