    dontcha love them buggers.... I take em out with a specially modified drift, called a chisel.... then replace em with a new one later...

    grab a high quality pin drift (3mm I think from memory) turn that into a chisel use carfeully on the clip with a small hammer about 10mm from one end untill the tip lifts up a bit, grab ith liers anr rip it out.

    Much less hassle and very theraputic when you think about how much hassle theyve been in thhe past.

    small screwdriver with a hardened tip is the best way i have found.

    the ends of the clip will be at an angle allowing you to fit a larger blade closer to the outer diameter of the clip. insert and turn clockwise and it should move one side out enough that you lean the screwdiver back a little and lever the edge of the circlip away from the groove. you then work your way around the outer and remove clip... no need to go looking for projectiles.

    you do need a hardened tip screwdriver to do it.

    other easy way is with one of those cheapy circlip pliers that come with replacable internal and external tangs...

    E Clips

    One of these days I will put a grab kit of e-clips on the shelf at home - I reckon my strike rate is about 1 in 5 I DON'T lose. I hate em with a passion.
    Manufacturers must say "hey we've got a component here which has lots of spagetti around & above it and right below is several components that will cause an unpredictable ricochet. I know, let's put an e-clip HERE, that'll fuggem".
