I forgot about that! i'm going to give it another bash i've nearly thrown the pistons out the window a few times

As terrybullwon says I have soft hands because I type on the keyboard, cheeky chef!

[europeanme]

he may be cheeky but is he wrong?!?!?!.....

IIRC the clips have to be 'threaded' into the piston....which is a real PITA!!....

[Jamo]

bet you got the first ones in easy eh? then wneh you puish the bar through it gives less room to use the piston to compress the clip.

when i did my I5 pistons it had been around 2 years since id done this. i spent the first few hours with nothing other than the first sides done. i left it came back the day after and had um all in in 1 hour.

keep at it.

looking from the crow down insert one end of the clip into the groove near the recess on the hole. put the end just past the hole. use the round area on the piston to compress the clip. you will be left with just the other end out of the hole then. i use a bar to pop that end in. takes a little effort and you end up with sore thumb where the bar rams into it as i stick my thumb in the hole to hold the clip down.once that end is in the hole use a socket to push the clip into the groove. making sure its seated properly as stated above.

one of the hardest things to explain that is.
