Anyone have any tips for getting those clips on the final drive flanges? I've spent the last 90 minutes firing them across the garage and I'm finally fed up. Considering just bending them open more...
I'm using nice pliers but the openings aren't flat on the clips for what ever reason.

hold the clip on the end of the stub, pushing down on them towards the groove. then with the clip positioned over the stub, stick your pliers in the opening of the clip, and slowly open it just enough to slide it over the stub shaft.. then tap it into place with a screw driver..

Worked like a charm and she is all back together. Successssssss!!!!!!! I've changed the entire clutch, push rod, TO bearing, seals and have put the manual cable in there. Is it normal to seem much easier to depress the clutch?
Also, I can hear what sounds like the rod spinning on the plate when I push the cough in.
