Re: Help

Step 1: remove clip from rear of wheel cyl

Step 2: Installation is the reverse of removal


OK, now that you've enjoyed "instructions":

The clip is circular, goes around the cyl, and has 2 blades that project inwards. They slip into grooves on the rear of the cyl that are on the sides (front and rear, not top & bottom) and catch on barbs located in the grooves. Can't see that worth a crap in your pics because everything is so filthy and rusty but it's all down in there somewhere. To remove, use a small screwdriver to pry the blades of the clip away from the barbs. Once you get that, you won't have any trouble with step 2.

Re: Help

For me, I used 2 nails banged in to pop the clips, then to put it back on -- https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/brak...ml#post6006083
