i wonder if a 1/4" exterior snap ring ( one with the 2 tiny holes to help remove it ) or an E clip would work?

i still have the one that was on it , but i mangled it up while removing it. I live in the boonies and always like to have a spare.


Yes an E clip very well may work if there's room to get the pliers' nubs in the 2 holes & if so I'm going to convert even tho I have the trick to getting them out fairly easy down pat by expanding it it's never easy . Actually those OE clips are very elastic and you can bend yours back to where it was & you'll be good. I thought maybe you had lost it. It'd take a ton of bending to fatigue break one of them as they're made of very elastic steel for a reason
