Is there an easy way to get those bastard clips onto the back of the rear wheel cylinders? Or were they made to be a bitch?

There is a tool for this on Minispares site. p/no is TOOL14. 
Basically it's a bolt and threaded cone. http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=37917

Bitch. 
Don't look at it and think it'll slide on, best approach is top down. Should be able to get two clips in most of the way, then use a small flat screwdriver to lever the remainder over. Socket should finish it into the right spot.

You've answered your own question here very eloquently. You can try to push it on from the side (when I say push, I mean belt it with a hammer). Kind of easier to have somebody help you. One to use a pair of pliers to hold the clip against the backing plate and one to tap the clip on with a hammer. Another option is to try and put the two side tabs in first and then use a screwdriver to leave the middle on one. I did mine the other day and did one side each way. Either way sucks.

OK, I can see that pic now. I might knock one of those up myself using a bolt, washer and the right sized socket.
I did one car last night via the bitch sideways approach. I'll do the other car via the bastard top down method
Cheers guys. |
