Yeah no kidding!!! I may run a pick in my thumb once in a while but at least the ring is still a ring once it’s off! Might as well have just ripped it off with a pliers,lol.
All kidding aside, did you find a source for the ring that goes on the nose of the bendix? I ordered 10 from Yamaha and they showed up twice the size, way too big to use in the bendix, not sure what they are for. They had the correct part number on the bag but clearly the wrong hog ring.
I know what a hog ring is, lol, your circlip was shaped just like a hog ring so that’s what I called it.These are hog rings...View attachment 398599

You can buy that damn C clip ring in a OEM part nr, im well aware taht you said you bought them, but came in wrong size @iQRTurbo
I have bought them a few times. My biggest problem is, when you get them new, they still needs to be "pressed" and i havent found the correct way to press them like new, so the nose on the bendix will pop out over the clip.

I have made a tapered cone shaped “ramp” that allows me to slide the clip over the end of the bendix without distorting it’s shape and they stay on well. I have repaired at least a dozen in the last couple years and haven’t had any issues coming apart. Running 3 high compression freestyle engines almost daily here requires lots of bendix maintenance. Knocking the ears off the weight spacer is an ongoing battle with 235 psi

Waiting on parts...Took a week for the weight plate to get here.Thanks usps But l ended up ordering some new circlips and springs.The dist. said the clips were back ordered all the way to japan.So supply’s of parts are definitely slow coming in at this point.
I’ll update as soon as these parts come in
Also,thanks for everyone’s input and posts! The help and positivity is great!

I have been able to resolve my past bendix issues by simply soaking them in ATF for a few days.

Fixed for ya. An atf soak won't help broken weight retainer clips (common failure) like posted.
