...I can't see any way to hold the two half collars in place to stop them rotating.
Any ideas?
There are 2 methods that I am aware of:
- string technique - wrap a string around the thread of the 2 halves in opposite turning direction to keep it from rotating when turning the outer collar.
- use a circlip tool - it is a tool that has 2 pointy end bent 90-deg to place/remove circlips. Insert the 2 pointy ends in between the space of the 2 halves to keep them from rotating. A long needle nose plier might work if you don't have circlip tool handy
