Sorry if this is the 2nd time you read this, the first never went thru.
I snapped the little ears off the JC clip that holds the guts of a
master cylinder in. Now I have to somehow remove the clip so I can
rebuild the brake master.
This is on a 67 Sprite, the unique brake master so I do not have any
spares laying around.
The clip is loose enough to slide around in the groove but with no
little ears, how do I get it out? I already spent several hours calling
it it's proper name (JC clip) instead of a "circlip" and I snapped off
all of my dental picks and all of my cheapo chinese made hook tools. I
even bent my crapsman screwdriver trying to wedge it under the clip.
If I can't get the clip out, the master is trash. Anybody have a
rebuidable brake master for a 67 Sprite? It is the single bore separate
brake master used only in 1967.
Anybody know how to get a JC clip out when the ears snap off?
I can not get a dremel in there with the push rod in the way, and I have
to remove the clip to get the rod out.
