Well i took apart my new to me 16G cause i'm getting a new 7cm ehxaust housing and i decided to remove the compressure housing also to clean it. I bought Circlip pliers to do so $17 buck damn, you know there going back to homedepot when i'm done with them :D Well now that i took it off i spent 1 hour trying to put it back on. I stopped after i was about to give up and throw it away:( I was thinking of trying a c clamp to put it in. What is the best way you guys have gottin it. Thanks.
 
I recall this being a bit tricky the first few times that I did it :). First of all make sure that the center section is sitting all the way inside the compressor housing (after checking to see if pin aligns with the hole). Then, the clip has a slight chamfer on one side. Put that side out. That is about it there are no other tricks to it, just compress them with the “c-clip” pliers and guide it in helping with your free hand.

After it is in, you can hammer it slightly with a screw driver to make sure that it settles right.

The next one you do you will be much easier :).
