[QUOTE="Matty, post: 111161, member: 1339"] Hi Brian Seems you have found the root cause of your problem. Obviously welding the box and cutting a new groove for the circlip is the best solution, but it is probably possible to put some screws round the groove area, the heads of which overlap the groove to hold the circlip in. This could be quite a simple "bodge" and would only involve drilling and tapping a few small holes in the aluminium casting. I do not believe there should be much force on the circlip trying to push it out UNLESS there is a taper on the dogs, but if they are properly engaged the force should not be that great. I suspect that in the past someone has not fitted the circlip fully into the groove - I have always tapped mine round to make sure. If part of the circlip is not in the groove then it will be at an angle and able to be forced out and break the flange off. Hopefully another problem understood and possibly solved one way or another. Matty [/QUOTE]
