Dont forget

You have to tap the retainers to break them loose from the keepers or nothing will break it loose. They get gummed up and stick real solid. I have seen professional off-the-car compressors bend like a pretzel if you dont break them free.

I do a gentle tap-tap with a ball peen on the top to break them loose, you'll know when it breaks look, it goes from solid to, well, a springy feel LOL

I bet your original broke because of that
