FWIW, O'reilly actually carries these little bastards in stock:



I lost one of them today while swapping back to the stock cam. I got everything tied up except I was clipping this SOB and it went flying. I looked for probably an hour and said screw it and went to O'reilly's. I figured I was going to have to buy an OEM part from the dealer at 11 bux per spring . Instead I paid 11 bux for a box of 12 clips, 4 of them are the size I needed.

Anyways, this whole post is for the next person who loses one and is freakin out lol.

 

yup we bought many of those from O'Riley's when i used to work at an oil change place

dropped many of them in the pit lol

 

haha, I hear ya. They're such a PITA for a simple damn clip. I'd rather just have one of the old school style fittings, hose and clamp

 

Yes...we (O'Reilly) do carry those..."we" as in pt job...
O'Reilly just bought out CSK...aren't they in TX as well?

edit: nevermind...I see that they're not...but all of you CA guys...here "we" come...

wtf? lol, you're confusing

 

once you get the hang of them, they're not that hard.
i'll admit, i had trouble at first

 

Yeah the second one went right in. I finally got the shop light and took a really close look to figure out how they work. After that I got a hang of it.

 

ive lost more of those clips then i can even begin to tell yoy they can be a real bastard somethimes

 

Do u have a closeup photo of what that lil bugger clips inside?

 

nah, I knew I should have taken a picture of it. If I'm not mistaken they can only go on one way.
