hebrew hammer Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 As the title says I cannot get the c clip out of the master cylinder. I need to get this out in order to rebuild it, but this clip has given me nothing but trouble. I spent 20 dollars on snap clips/ c clip pliers and 30 dollars on precision screwdrivers and allen wrenches but to no avail. How did you guys remove your C clips? edit: doh stupid typo in title, see how pissed I am!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
