Watch those cir clips. Cover the case with a rag before you remove or install the cir clips. If one goes down into the crank case you are fucked. You'll need to split the case apart again. If you leave it there it will destroy your cylinder jug and piston. Ask me how I know.

J/K I've done it too. Usually I can fish them out with a pencil magnet.

Yeah I tried that and since I couldn't ever get the circlip out I assumed it just flew across the garage and didn't land in the crank case.. I was wrong.
