How to install piston pin circlips?
I humbled to the core trying to install piston circlips. The open section of the C is huge and the only thing I've managed to do is scratch up the piston. Anyone have any tricks?Ed

Make up a piston cover out of a used plastic milk bottle and cut a hole in it the size of your gudgeon pin - it'll prevent any scratching of the piston.79 GS1000S

Thanks for the suggestions. Just got back from installing the clips. Put the top edge of the clip in the groove, and then using a small screwdriver in the notch on the bottom, lifted up to get the clip to compress. Dang, was ready to kill earlier but the clips went right in once I figured out how.Ed
