Awful things, aren't those e-clips? I couldn't get them to *slide* back
in place like you'd think they'd go in. (And others' experience
agrees.) You put them against the back of the cylinder and pry the ears
in one at a time. First one side, then the center, then the other side.
This will get the clip back in, and the car will be safe enough. It
does leave you a little disappointed, because each time you push in an
ear, the clip bends some, leaving it the shape of a leaf of lettuce by
the time it's done. Just doesn't look as pretty as a nice flat e-clip.
Probably lose you a couple points in a concours competition, but then so
would just driving the thing across the parking lot, eh?
Be safe.

I was attempting to change the rear RHS brake cylinder at the
weekend.
The old one came out just fine, but I couldn't get the E-clip on
to
hold the new one in place...
