Re: [AMC-list] Pushing a C-clip

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid "big screwdriver" is what I use too. A small hammer to tap it 
home is a good idea. I didn't get the C-clip seated well once and lost a 
cap -- not good!!  So go around it at a couple places and tap it home. 
I've got an old carpenter's screwdriver that is stout but short that 
works perfectly.

I'm trying to get the rear u-joint back in the Rambler and pushing the 
internal c-clips onto the u-joint caps is proving to be a hassle while 
lying under the car with the u-joint hanging loose.? I know I'll get it 
eventually but just wondered if anyone who has done this before has a 
suggestion for a pusher tool other than the big screwdriver I'm using.? 
I did the same thing on my 66 Rambler years ago and I forgot if I just 
kept trying with a screwdriver or if I got a brainstorm involving some 
other tool.? I thought maybe I'd get out Mr. Dremel and carve an arc in 
a heavy putty knife.
