Piston Cir-Clip Installation

[@SL9SH]

The only video that actually helped thank you very much for your time and knowledge

[@trxtech3010]

Glad to hear that it helped!! Thank you for the Posative feedback.

[@trxtech3010]

just for anybody that wants to know yes I may not instal C Clips how Service Manuals say to, however it doesn't matter because the only reason any service manual tells you this is just for ease of removal of the old C-Clip.

[@Moto4Husky]

That's how I put it in my 88 yz 80 recently and haven't had any issues at all. And that's with a used circlip (new one got launched into oblivion unfortunately).

[@leekilgore4711]

Dude thank you. Wholly crap it worked

[@trxtech3010]

You're welcome! Goad to hear it helped!

[@AronStensaa]

Don't line the opening of the cir clip with that notch. That's how you remove them if the opening of the cir clip is lined up with that notch, there's nothing to grab onto with your pick to remove it, if you need to 😢

[@trxtech3010]

It's only like that for ease if removal... So no it will not mess anything up.

[@AronStensaa]

6 or 12 o'clock is best.

Wont work on 2nd clip with short piston pins

[@javiertablas-tapia7388]

Great tip worked first try

[@johnnyhonda7576]

You need to have the wire in the cutout. Last 1/2” of the circle so you can get a pick in there to remove the clip

[@trxtech3010]

I know this...

[@pingpong9656]

That is wrong, because now you can't extract it.

[@trxtech3010]

I can extract it just fine after that....

[@pingpong9656]

I would like to watch that video... LOL

[@trentgrace8983]

I was worried I might damage the retaining ring by doing it that way but am very happy and relieved to see it can be done that way this video was exactly what I looked for🫡

[@trxtech3010]

Glad to have helped.

…and then “círclip” springs loose; wrist pin walks outward toward cylinder wall, good night, sweet dreams 💤 you growling 318 La Small Block you…

[@trxtech3010]

lol what?

[@JG-do6eb]

I always thought opening on clip went on bottom when working on dirt bikes eons ago...

[@trxtech3010]

installed them in all different directions. I've never had an issue all of these years. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@JG-do6eb]

@@trxtech3010 i understand that but still doesn't mean its correct ..I believe i am correct ... you should research and learn more if you are doing things correctly ...it would suck if ypu lost an engine over your ignorance ...good luck

[@JG-do6eb]

@Jason rood opening up or down on the old motorcycles / wiseco pistons ive installed....but could be different on application in others..

[@JG-do6eb]

@Jason rood ok..if that's correct or is that your guess?? Stupid is what stupid does

[@trxtech3010]

@@JG-do6eb once again, I've been doing this for years absolutely never had an 1 issue...

[@napper1496]

Very close to damaging the groove with your screwdriver bud.

[@trxtech3010]

LMAO, comments like this or what give me a chuckle as people who have never touched an engine once in their life will sit there and try to tell me what I'm doing wrong and what will happen and so on...

[@violentmo2241]

thx, i was in a pinch here.

[@Nitterundercove]

How to remove

[@pingpong9656]

Drill or welder.
