This motor didn't have the clip installed when I got it and it seemed okay but now I find the crown gear appears to be chewed up so thinking flex is doing that. Dug a C clip out, gave it a go but no go. Youtube videos all show C clips with much more space between the ends. I've tried needle nose pliers and squeezing the bejesus out of them but no go. Do I just need to squeeze more? Is there a trick? I think this is the same clip on a Monogram or is there another clip I need to get?
Thanks,
Vince
