What kind of tool do you use to lose or tighten the ring around the ignition key ?

I would imagine that somewhere, there is a special Churchill or Sykes Pickavant tool for the job but in the spirit of KISS, or Keep it Simple......... As per Robin. Circlip or needle nose pliers. ,

Wow, had never imagined there would be a tool to do it, always just used a fat screw driver :shock:
