This might seem a bit crazy, but right now I am having a hard time
figuring out how to get the clip off - everything is totally black and
it seems hard to get to - a 19mm wrench? I used something else on the
clip and it seems to be blue in the corner where it chipped off. If they
are that cheap I wonder why they didn't put new ones on when they
rebuilt the engine...

Thanks,

Andree
