I'm helping a friend fix a BMW starter. The starter gear slides along
a shaft and is stopped by a collar held in by a retaining ring. The
ring is a round section type like these:

and it simultaneously fits in a groove in the shaft, and in a groove
in the collar. Here's the fiche from the bike, and "Starter Single
Parts" will open the diagram:

I'm looking for a tool(s) that would assist in compressing the ring to
allow the collar to slide off/on it, and also expand the ring to ease
removal from the shaft. There's already been one screwdriver-under-the-
fingernail episode...
thanks,
jim
