'evening all,
I finally had the chance to sort the rear brakes out, all apart from this type of circlip.
I was a little hesitant to use force as I didn't want to stuff the new bearing.
How do I get the damn thing in without knackering the bearing, losing fingers or swearing?
(apologies for crappy picture quality)

I got it down to the rim half way down but as one end went down the other came up.
I thought about using a socket but wondered if I could compress it somehow?

Just get a friend to hold one side down as you tap other should be easy never had an issue with them before

You cant use circlip pliers on those without the holes...
I haven't had an issue with fitting these though, they literally just push in! Push one side right down, hold it there and then push the ends in...
