Anyone know the correct way to remove and replace or even initially place
(without possibly straining the legs of the tranny by lateral forces) such
spring clips as in this 2 angle view ,combined pic, I took
http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/clip.jpg
I slid a thin piece of PTFE sheet between body of tranny and the clip ,
pulled outwards with thin nosed pliers, and then drove the clip along the
slot in the aluminium heatsink, with a punch and hammer to undo, but how to
reassemble. I've slid the clip along the slot (slot profile shows just under
the red "S" on the other heat sink) but not replaced over the tranny for
the pic. It requires pulling and sliding at the same time
The one pictured has space in front to manipulate with perhaps a lever with
2 pins do the double operation of pull in one direction and push
transversely at the same time but its complement is hidden behind some large
caps, so not possible with that one.
Its not possible to just push the top of the clip into the slot as is often
the case with other such spring clips.
