I thought you'd like the closeup.... :-)
I've got two of those clips hiding in the depts of my workshop. They can be quite lively when they come out. Even more so trying toi get them back in again!

A neat tool and the pictures also show me the clip so I know what I am trying to get at.

I could not find any other way of removing the clip with the tools I had so I made a similar tool. The geometry was not quite right but good enough to get the clip off.

Well done, Greg!
Satisfying isn't it?

Hi Graham
Yes very satisfying, though I have since broken it trying to improve the geometry! .. will have to get the mig out again.
