WHAT A COMPLETE C#N*!!!!

Trying to get that excuse for a cirl clip out of probably an "in the car since new" wheel bearing was a complete nightmare.

Why not put two eyes on the clip like normal one so you can just compress with the pliers and remove.....

I could go on all night but i wont. Anyone else had this as a problem? :evil:

Na its easy... one tab is bent out 30 degrees so you can get a flat blade screwdriver behind it, just flick it out and keep moving around the circlip.

Its pressing the bearings out that can be a full beatch! lol

pressing them out was easy but the clip was totally welded in. I came up with a way of getting it out in the end.... :wink:
