    Default Clamp circular clip - need replacement

    Does anyone know what these circular clips are called? They are used on hold in the pins on the frontline clamps

    I refer to them as “Jesus” clips because they come off within a ping and where the Jesus did that go. Or you could use ciclip.

    Circlip. Get circlip pliers to take it on and off. You can pry it off with a screwdriver but it's likely to ping off to another dimention and never be seen again.

    These are closely related to Jesus springs, for the same reason.

    Circlip pliers generally avoid the Jesus moment when removing and make it more likely the same clip can be reused. Also make it much easier to replace.

    Yes I have invested in circlip pliers, albeit too late in life to stop the scarring of looking for the little “#&@“ers in all four corners of the globe.

    No need for circlip pliers to remove those, they won't fit, just a flat head screwdriver in one of the openings and twist it to lever them off. Cup your hand over it as you do it so it doesn't disappear. To refit get a pair of pliers and squeeze it on by putting one jaw at the back of the pin and the other on the closed side of the E clip.

    They are called circlips. Blackwoods has good quality ones.

    In the 80's I had one break/disappear on my car. Because it was on the clutch cable the little 20cent part disabled the vehicle.
