Hi, ive been trying to remove the clip of the joystick to dismount it and nothing... used the smallest screwdriver and theres no space to fit in and pull it out.

How to remove it?
 
there are tools for removing circlips (holes in the ends) or C-clips(horseshoe looking things)
 
I either grasp the clip in the middle with a pair of pliers and pull, or use some needle nosed pliers held parallel to the stick with the tips between the c-clamp ends and ‘open’ the pliers to force the clamp open.

But yes, a proper tool would be a much better approach than anything above...
 
Well, didnt know about this specific tool! Thx.
The thing is : notice that, somehow, the last owner of this joustick used a different clip from the original one.Seemed like sanwa. So it was very, very tight. Had to bend it to create a space and them pull it out.
Guess ill buy the pliers when the commerce here opens again.
