Lucky for you. I tried to exchange the parts - washer and circlip. It can only be changed by a licensed Honda tech.
I think I'll wait until spring for that.
On a side note, and off topic, but..., If I remember correctly you're in Terrace. I was out that way this summer and over to Gingolx. Wow! Beautiful scenery and riding on the way from Terrace to Gingolx.
