You always have good videos! Don't be afraid to stretch the spiro-locks out. Makes it easier to install them. Removing them is still difficult unless the piston has the small hole to make getting under the spring easier.
I have only used these once, but I learned pretty quickly, to open up the spiral and file a flat on the end. It will keep from scratching the piston, (did it), and it gives you a space to easily slip the end in with a flat blade screw driver. I have also seen newer pistons with a round wire snap ring, but have not used one. Have you, and if so, what are your thoughts on them??
Hi Pete, learn so much with your videos !

That's a good tip. I prefer the snap rings myself
