Hi John, when I did this job, I cleaned the pushrod and the washer real
well then put on a little of that red grease that comes with the rebuild
kit on the edges of the washer and carefully push it through the hole in
the rubber cover, with the cover turned inside-out. that gives you more
room to put in the circlip. then once that's done you can turn the cover
right side out and install it. hope this helps Armand
