I have a 1965 FLH, that is using "C-clip" retaining rings for the piston pins. According to the manual, this is not what was used, originally. To remove the clip, I found that using a pair of snap-ring pliers and compressing the two ends of the "C-clip" together, was not enough to remove it, so I had to overlap the two ends to further compress it, to get it out.
I have heard all the horror stories of not re-using old clips. Are these the correct clips to use, or is there something better?
Is there a better way to install them, than using snap-ring pliers, and overlapping the two ends?
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary
