    Josh I think you are referencing the the top sprin, this is the one that sits on top of the seal on the lower tube. it is wider and "C" shaped with holes near the opening for pinching it together.
    Ohh the circlip. Yeah you will likely find you need a half way decent pair of circlip pliars or maybe take a pair of needle nose and grind the tips to get em in there, but they may not open wide enough...I just went to Harbor Freight and bought their Circlip pliar assortment. Think it was 12 bucks for a bunch of different types, not the best quality but they'll suffice for just about anything GS aside from maybe inside the motor
