I've searched the web and YT but everyone wants to talk about hold down springs. I've got every tool for the springs, but sometimes these clips drive me nuts.
Are there any specialty tools for these or does anyone have nifty tricks? I searched for tools but again it all reverts to springs.
These clips are quite often used in DIH parking brake assys but some cars do use them as the primary hold downs I believe.
In this case I've got a D70 full floater hub in my way. I of course could pull the hub but didn't want to if avoidable. I finally got creative and used these Strong Hand spreading locking pliers to compress the stupid clips, but it was NOT elegant.
