Randy, just did this job on my '76 B and I agree, what a pain! Especially
since you have to try and do it blind - I couldn't get enough leverage
lying on my back, so had to sit facing the outside of the wheel hub and
try and reach around back! I ended up going to the hardware store and
buying another type of retaining clip that was a little more flexible and
easier to install. I brought the cylinder with me to find one that fit.
Good luck......!
