You don't crimp circlips. You remove them carefully so as not to stretch them. If they become stretched after removed, you use a pair of pliers to bend them closed, and carefully put them back on so as not to stretch them again.

I've found more success in lifting the circlip straight off and over the back of the plug, rather than by sliding them off sideways. They stretch out by sliding them sideways, but need only little springy-stretching to lift straight off.

PS. This is the set I own. You can also buy them from most other suppliers, including Lockmasters, if you prefer.

Circlip is the wrong name as he didnt mean a true circlip so circlip pliers will not do this job at all,

i know what i ment and i did mean circlip as i said before KEYPRINT based in scotland sell these but are Â£45 each and that seems a bit steep to me for a set or crimps

and with euro cylinders you have to bend the clip open slightly as they wont come off over the plug

Since I'm not a Euro, I probably don't know what you're looking at.

Mind taking a picture?
