Sliding sheave bushing retainer clip

[coolcam]

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to remove the factory circlip that holds in the sliding sheave bushing? I'm open to ideas before I wreck the groove trying to dig it out.

it should have holes in the ends to use snap ring pliers

The ends of the clip taper down and overlap. They didn't even put a little tab to pry it out with. The end has an angle but not enough to pry on. It's a terrible set up.

I had Specialty do one for me once and he used a chisel to cut a small V into the groove above the clip ends. Seemed to work well but I'm looking for any other ideas before I commit to that.

Just need a small pick to pry the end of the retaining clip out and then get a small flat blade screw driver in behind the retaining clip and then start working the clip out - u may distort the retainer but if u get a maintenance clutch kit a new retainer comes with kit

Patience and picks. They do come out. Specialty did my clutch once as well and same thing chiseled a window but i have done many since but need patience

Got it out! Thanks guys. That's one of the worst clips I've ever had to get out. And I'm a millwright! Feel like a millwrong now though.

Replacement isn't quite the same. Looks like I'll just need longer bolts. Any reason why it won't work?

I think the kit I have if for a '14. Going into a '16 T3 154.
