One hour? I think I spent close to an hour fiddling trying to get the damn retainer clip over the spring! Now that it's done, what do you think?

I have this long shoulder bolt that's just the right size to hold the spring and snap ring and can be used to compress it all. I've done this on all my C-4's...It makes a huge difference in performance braking. Not too noticeable in city stop and go.
