I have also fished in .020" safety wire in the back of the clip and a simple tug pulls it and keeps it retained. Then to reinstall I put a piece of masking tape on the clip to hold it from disappearing in the valley. __________________ Ken 2002 F-350 CCLB 4X4, HD4R100 , Riffraff FRx, Riffraff CAC Boots & PRI's, Bellowed Up-Pipes, 4" Diamond Eye exhaust, Powerslot rotors, ATS Ported Compressor Housing, DP Tuner-F6, Autoenginuity, EEC-V Breakout Box, KCM S.S.
