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  |

1 - go get a GOOD set of dental picks. Craftsman will work.
2 - To put in the new clip, you set it over the hole, then using the dental pick, get under the last "loop" of the clip in back. You should be able to push that down into the hole, then keep working your way around until it is all in there and the last bit will click in. 3 - to remove, see the little "notch" in the end of the clip ring? You would reach into the hole and grab that with the dental pick, and work it back out the reverse of how it went in. Stu |

Can't be done without a pick of some sort. Now I get to use it again. |
