Just recieved the knob and carbon washers from shimano in the mail today and swapped out the drags no problem, but having a little trouble with the knob they sent. I attached it to the cap easi;y, but the orignal has a gasket and what looks like a silver retaining clip, what they sent me and what I installed on the cap doesn't. Figure i need to take this off the orignal and it onto the new one. I can't figure out how take it off?? Pretty sure it is something simple, I am just missing it. Thanks.
took a quick look at the schematic

i've never had one of these apart before. are you talking about the handle knob?
yes mate you just take the clip off and swap the parts over.

This is the piece, guess i need to be a little better with my nomenclature Alan. It sounds dumb, but i can't figure out how to remove that clip for the life of me. I am scared i will do something to tear up the rubber piece ...
you need a pair of snap ring pliers.
