- Aaaaaargh. 1969 Sprite. Replacing both rear wheel cylinders. Is there some magic trick to getting the circlips back on. I have tried everything that I could think of. Hammer, screw driver, pliers. Ju

- I just did the rear brakes on my 68 Sprite. I used new external circlips and the old thin washers I saved when the old cylinders were removed. Very simple to install if you have snap ring pliers. Ne

- Next time just send the clips to me, I would like a nice supply on hand because they do break occasionally. Someday you will wish you had done it right when the concours judges start looking at your

- Bill, They are a real PITA. I've done these about 20 times, the first 8 or 10 times I fought with the supplied circlips. They will go on. I use a set of locking needle nose pliers (vicegrips) and the

- Gee, I thought the expanding ciclips were the originals. Silly me. The 10-32 screw seem like a good idea though. They should have done it right and bolted it on in the first place... Concours, what's

- My Bentley manual for the 1500 shows the circlip (the kind with 2 holes for circlip pliers) and the washer as original. The washer actually is slightly cone shaped to ensure a tight fit between the c

- Thanks, I can visualize from what you say, and can see how that should work. Just in case I am printing out the procedure. My next step was indeed to pitch the circlips and go with the "wimpy" clip t
