Been at this clip for over an hour. Tried scribe, screwdrivers, G-clamping, nothing will move it and there is no holes - its just a piece of metal.

Renton Member 151 Member For: 7y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 08/06/18 05:27 AM Share Posted 08/06/18 05:27 AM Need to make sure that cap is pressed or clamped down enough so there's no pressure on that wire ring. Maybe even put a socket between the cap and g-clamp so you're compressing more towards the OD of the cap. Looks like you should be able to get a right angle seal pick in that gap at end the of the ring and force it between the ring and and the groove. If you don't have a seal pick maybe try a sharp wood chisel and try forcing that in between the ring and the top edge of the groove.

Wreckers $40 used pump it ended up being.
