How do I get the C-clip in?

[morpheus1977]

How the heck do I get the MPS clip into the pommel? I have MPS clip I want to use to hold a style 6 MPS insert for a style 4 MPS pommel? Is there some sort of trick I am missing to get that little sucker in the pommel??

Get a ring tool if you can, this way you can get it back out... it looks like a pair of pliers with points on the end, otherwise you just have to force it in there.

I skipped the snap ring and took the pommel to the hardware store and bought an o-ring that fit in the groove in the pommel. It works well, and is easier to get out.

I think I'm going to do that from now on, I HATE that ring tool...it let the ring loose once and slammed it right into my face.....
