Installation Instructions
1. Using a spring compressor, compress the overdrive return spring.
2. Remove and discard the OEM return spring retaining ring.
3. Install one end of the Sonnax Sure Lock™ ring into the retaining ring groove. It is NOT recommended to use a screwdriver to install,
force or pry the spiral snap ring into place.
4. With the ring end fully installed in the groove, work the ring into the groove one wrap at a time (see Figure 1).
5. After the ring is fully installed, make sure that the locking tabs are engaged with the cut-outs in the retaining ring as shown. It may
be necessary to bend the locking tabs up to get a secure lock (see Figure 2). Do not bend the cut-out ends.
Be sure that snap ring is installed correctly.
Failure to install correctly may result in unit failure.
