I cant figure out how to remove the fork oil seal retaining circlips on my 1999 TXT 270

I have watched the video for later models that have wire circlips, but mine have flat ones ( like the ones that have a loop on each end, but without the loops )

They need to be closed up to get them out but how !!!!!!

Please help

I use a stout pick to pull one of the ends outward enough to get another pick in between the clip and the collar, they come out easily after that. Be careful to retain control of the clip as they can spring out rather forcefully.

Hi Jon

Did exactly what you said and it worked

I used a scriber with a slight bend at the end
