Yes, these R clips are designed to be removed and reused multiple times, provided they have not been bent out of shape.
These are generally used for non-critical fasteners like clevis pins on accessories or linkages. They should not be used on primary structural automotive axle connections.
The largest size included is 4mm x 75mm.
No, they can usually be removed by hand, though a small screwdriver can provide extra leverage on larger clips.
These clips are manufactured for strength and durability, but they should be kept dry to prevent corrosion.
The set includes 42x(2.4x31mm), 30x(2x33mm), 25x(2x40mm), 25x(2.8x42mm), 20x(3.5x45mm), and 8x(4x75mm).
The clip may be too small for the shaft diameter. Verify that the inner width of the R-clip matches the diameter of the shaft you are securing.
Ensure the hole in the shaft is free of burrs or debris. Use a slightly smaller diameter clip if the hole is tight.
If the application experiences extreme vibration, the clip may work itself loose. Consider using a safety wire or a secondary locking mechanism.
These R clips are designed as a universal fastener and do not require specialized tools for installation; simply slide the straight leg through the pre-drilled hole of a shaft or clevis pin until the curved portion snaps into place. To remove, pull the loop firmly. Compatibility is determined by the diameter of the pin shaft; always measure the hole diameter before selecting the clip to ensure a snug fit. To maintain the life of your clips, keep them free of heavy rust-inducing moisture. If used in outdoor or marine environments, apply a light coat of anti-corrosion spray or grease to prolong the metal's integrity.
