Brake Lever Circlip Arghh
I got the brake lever to replace my current broken one, but having a real challenge getting that little circlip that holds the lever pin in. I do have circlip removers but may need to sharpen the points down on them as the holes are so small, not to mention that it's a tight working space with the mirror hanging off the lever.
Any tips that people have used? I was thinking of a tiny flat head but don't want to scratch anything.

Thanks, I do have a small jewler's flat head but was worried about trying to pry it in there. For the c-clip tool, specialty item or should I be able to find it at a Lowe's (Sorry, closest store to me is 15 miles in each direction so figure I'd ask).

I have the same issue and currently my pins are in but the clamps on the brake and clutch are not.

This is a good set of snap ring pliers for the price. I have a set of interchangeable tip pliers and I couldn't stand them anymore so I bought these. Tools are always a worth while investment
