I plan on installing my p/c next. I noticed that the wrist pin keepers are quite different. Is there a trick to install and removal of this type of clip?? The instructions say to pull it apart. It looks like a spring, but "don't spring it". not very clear.
Thanks, Clark  |

I scratched my head at first, but its really pretty easy once you figure it out. I just stretched them out like a spring, worked them in a circular motion and kinda screwed them in. Removal just takes a small jewelers screwdriver to pry the end out of the groove where the notch on the end is.

Removal just takes a small jewelers screwdriver to pry the end out of the groove where the notch on the end is. That was my 1st thought. As the spring is pulled apart to make a coil the OD of the whole thing will get smaller. Is that physics or geometry? First time i have thought about either in quite some time. |
