Oh i remember those bastards, when I was rebuilding the rear brake
clyinders. That was the dumbest design I have ever seen.
It had slipped my mind, I do remember thinking M0$s gave me the wrong ones
they were so hard to put on. Oh and the water pump pliar technique is only
good for snapping them and creating shrapnel. I might still have that scar.
I have some left too, clips that is, no scars.
