I'm sure we've all been there. You want to complete a repair but a wrong part, broken part, etc. prevents you from finishing. It's frustrating.

If not, it shouldn't be difficult to find a snap ring that fits. Any auto parts store should have them for cents. I'm just not sure how easy they would be to find in the Phillipines ???

We all know what a pain in the azz it is to get the wrong part. It happens though from time to time and we all know that too. I can buy a part off of anyone but the ones I do repeat business with are the ones who get it right 99% of the time or the ones who treat me like a decent human being and makes it right with no crap in the meantime when they do make an error. There is nothing worse then when you get a part, you know you are right and they treat you like an idiot or drag their feet on making it right. If and when that happens I'm done and I never go back.
