If there is one thing that I dislike doing in the Workshop its removing a Circlip ! Take today for example I had to remove a Circlip from a Harley foot peg. I hang rags all round the foot peg mount, I hang Magnets in close proximity. I take extra care.No what happens is with all the prep I had taken and with circlip plyers in hand I removed the circlip which is now on the plyers so very pleased with myself until I go to remove it from the circlip plyers, You have guessed correct.it was like that bloody Circlip had wings it flew off into thin air never to be seen again, Spent an hour looking for it but no chance of finding.. I must have small washers and circlips all around me which is invisible as I can never see them again.
