<div dir="ltr">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!<div><br></div><div>Cheers!!<br></div><div>Jim</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jul 10, 2015 at 7:39 AM, fastvee <a href="mailto:fastvee@yahoo.com">fastvee@yahoo.com</a> [midgetsprite] <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:midgetsprite@yahoogroups.com" target="_blank">midgetsprite@yahoogroups.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
