Does anyone know what the spring clip in the end if the DeDion tube actually does? It is calles a seal retainer in the manual, but I can't fathom out what it's purpose is!
It prevents the inner cylinder sliding completely out so preventing possible damage to itself and your toe! Apart from the safety aspect, I can see no other purpose for it.
I assume that is the spring clip you mean..539080..as you didn't post a part number.
And as some are oil filled,and its an oil seal, It stops it from falling out and loosing all the oil thats in it! Its not a lot but it would make a mess!!
