[Vwdiesel] circlips

[jonathan hoehl]

Hello everyone!

Driving my rabbit today, the noises from my driveshaft were finally starting
to sound scary.  My rabbit has also been leaking tranny fluid for quite a
while, so I figured I would replace the oil seal behind the drive flange
too.  I've never done one of these seals before.  I got the feeling I was
opening a can of worms when I had so much trouble getting the circlip off.

I got the flange off, and got a new seal back in OK.  So, here's the problem
- how do you put the circlip back on?

The Bentley shows a special tool I know.  I tried hammering a socket over
it, screwdrivers all day, threading bolts in with washers... I just couldn't
get in back on.  Does anyone out there have any tricks they could share?

Thanks for any help

Jon
