JOHN BROWN Model 115 taillight repair

[t42]

I have used a hammer and a small piece of wood to gently tap the rim over the snap ring. The wood cushions the rim steel from getting marked up with unwanted hammer marks. Go slow and don't try to bend it over all at once. Go around the rim quite a few times. The snap ring should be free to be removed once bent over.
Good luck.

Many thanks to Will N and t42 for the replies! I believe that I can handle the project, except that I do not have a snap ring. Anyone know where I can find one? Any and all info will be appreciated!
