Re: Getting steel ring out of break disk

a small bladed long flat screwdriver in one of the holes nearest one of the ends of the wire circlip; push against the clip through the hole just enough to get another thin bladed screwdriver in from the outside between the clip and the disc; once you’ve got that far you can lever the clip out
