<snip> special tool install the small clips for the wristpins. <snip> You can use circlip pliers such as those available at a FLAPS ... or you can use 2 awls ... one in each hand ... to compress the the circlips. Careful they don't slip and let the clips fly away. Circlip pliers can come in "Open when handles are squeezed" or "Close when handles are squeezed". If you are going to buy some, check that they'll do the job. Mike Houlton, Maine |
