Emrys Parry Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I am in the process of renewing all the brake components on my '81 DHC, so far this is going well (UNTIL NOW).I am in the process of replacing the rear brake cylinders; the new cylinders fit quite nicely, however the securing to the rear of the back plate is by a 'C' clip. My problem is how to fix the clip. Is there a knack to fitting the clip or is there a tool available for purchase/rent which will allow the clip to fit with the back plate in situ?

Andy Moltu Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 If it is the same as the Stag it's a case od shove it on. A bit of a git of a job as I vaguely recall and I'm sure that Allan Westbury said the same when he did it on his 7 last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John L Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I dont have experience with TR8's but the MGB uses a similar circlip to hold the rear slave cylinder, and MCOC has made a tool to do this horrible job its part number Circlip fitting tool 17H7949T. Or from Rimmers - Wheel Cylinder Circlip - RP2182 Maybe a copy could be made if the dimensions are different, hope this might help. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
