Re: [Amc-list] I hate it when that happens

Some Mopars used this same style clip. Also, I've had good luck using "E" clips, which are readily available at most any GOOD parts store.

This happens all the time! They're probably hiding with all the single 
socks and pen caps without pens.

It's a PITA location even for a C clip. In a pinch, I've used a plain 
flat washer. Find one that just fits over the shaft. Cut out a pie 
section so it looks like a big "C". Put it in place over the groove and 
squeeze slightly with channelocks. It's a fairly sloppy circlip and has 
enough width to later grab with pliers to remove.
