Someone mentioned a while ago that there's a ring spreader tool one can use to work with the pull rod E clips on Legrandes... do you need to get a special tool to change the set up?
If not a ring spreader proper, what is the best way to get them off and back on again?
Where would you pick up the tool if wanted or needed?
Thanks in advance... |

I just grab ahold of mine with a needle-nosed plier and pull them off. Use the same plier to push them back on. A piece of cake!
The tool mentioned above won't work. Emmons' e-clips don't have the hole to stick the little thing-a-ma-jig into.

I do just like Erv says, but I've also found a few choice words to go along with the task hand-in-hand. The little woman doesn't like them, but they often vent the steam when one of those little "@$%^&*" goes "ping..." and directly into the Bermuda Triangle!
honestly, the needle nose pliers are great!

| In shop, the teacher called them Jesus clips, because of the expletives that followed when one of those little clips went flying off in the wild blue yonder. |

Nicholas,
www.Mcmastercarr.com has clips,on the home page click on retaining rings/p3052, for Eclips, p3050 for snaprings. There is a spec. chart, click on black rings. Also, there is a neat tool for removal/install Eclips under handtools/ retaining ring pliers p2584, part #5728A2. The clips are only about $3.50 for a bag of 100.(you can lose a bunch before you have to reorder) Hope this helps.
