So is the recommendation to use circlips?  I cannot grock how to get the "E"
clips on.  Jeeeze what a poor fit.  I am confident that if I use the "E"
clips I will bugger up the assembly process.  I am missing one thin washer.

There is very likely a thin "C" clip or circlip holding the wheel cylinder
to the backing plate.  It doesn't hold the cylinder as tightly as the "E"
spring clip does, but then again I can never get the darn e clips to work.
