Thanks for all the input!  What a great group this is!  A friend suggested
I toss out the E rings and go with a hardware store snap ring.  The size I
found that fits is 3/8".  They were rather thin in a wide slot so I used
two in each one. Easy-peasy with a set of cheap snap ring pliers. Did both
rear wheel cylinders in less than 2 minutes and no struggling, drilling or
tapping. Thank goodness for friends!

Cheers!!
Jim
