Circlip = Snap ring.

Snap Ring Pliers make it really easy to remove/install those, and they're about $5 at harbor freight.

Cool might have to look into that.

My guess, considering the lack of oil in the forks is that neither of the PO's that I know of replaced or filled them. Probably couldn't figure out how to get those circlips out either.
