[Boatanchors] sp-600 help

[Keith Densmore]

There is a tool for this job called Circlip pliers. I recall owning one
years ago and it worked on real small clips up to about 1 inch in diameter.
A google search would probably unearth a present day supplier if you really
want to go that route.

Regards,
Keith, ve3ts
