How do you install the tiny circlip that is under the felt puck under the rotor? Mine was also sitting on top of two little washers loose, giving my distributor way to much vertical freeplay. Thanks |

I use a metal tube just a tad larger than the distributor clip shaft. A dab of grease holds the clip in place while a bop if a rubber mallet usually seats the clip nicely.
Large sheet magnets available at craft stores are handy as a work mat for small jobs like those clips and steering box bearings.

Some people use a socket that is the right size to fit over the inner shaft and inside the outer one. I use a few small tools to snap it on. It's not easy when it's your first time. Do a few hundred and they just seem to snap on.

This worked like a charm, I hit the top of the socket with a hammer and the clip is in. Thanks |
