Who ever invented these!!!

Should be shot!@:banned:

[Dammit!]

I hate them damned things too. I have never found a pair of circlip pliers that are actually big enough to work worth a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*.

[chris200x]

circlip.. retaining clip... :wondering they all suck!:lol:

can't even get them on with these...

I'm about ready to pay shop rates... :mad: I swear they shrunk!

HELP!!!!!

[factoryX]

have you ever put one a rear axle one a 200x where the rear sproket hub is?

[The Goat]

ever put one in a 350x fork tube when the strength of the circlip is more than your pliers.

[smokinwrench]

Buy the proper tool and they are easy. You guys are whining like babies. Do you expect a $350 Chinese atv to run as good as and last as long as a $2,500 Jap model? Don't expect cheap tools to work that well either.

i agree 100%

[The Goat]

this just makes me think of will ferrel in blades of glory...

"whoever invented rope was a real A-hole"

or

"Rope....you are a WORTHY adversary"

but yeah, tool or no tool, you trying taking out a rusted circlip inside of a 350x fork tube.

when one end of the circlip snapped off, it was a relief, cause I could just pull the little bugger out and buy some new ones.

[edog]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Can you recommend a place to find a LARGE pair of circlip pliers? nobody around here ever seems to have any. That's always been my problem. The three pair I have are never big enough to open them.

[smokinwrench]

I'm sure Sears has them. If not mine are all snap on or mac. Don't you work at car dealerships, just watch when the tool truck pulls in. Might cost you $25 for a pair but they will last forever.

If you guys think those are tough I deal with some circlips that are 5-8 inch in diameter, now thats a big pair of pliers and trust me those clips can fly 30 feet when they come out of the pliers.

[Eric250R]

Yep, got mine from snap-on. Work like a charm.

[84honda200s]

i have a pair of decent sized ones i got in a kit from homer domer. sure they are cheap but they get the job done.



ooo yea... i hate them danm clips too !!!

[Kilborg]

Im with smokin and the rest...take a look on a decent tool truck and youll find exactly what you need....These lil guys are pretty easy to deal with...when you start getting over the 4"x1/4" range they can start to become a little more tricky.

[Erics350x]

on some it helps to use precsision screw drivers and just work the around like setting a tire on a rim

That's the way I usually have to do it. It typically goes like this.

Almost there... almost there... almo *SNAP!* Damn it!!!!! :lol:

I never see the tool truck come through my work but I'm sure it does. I'll have to get one of the service advisers to call my cell next time it rolls through. I tried all the local places (including sears) and haven't had any luck finding a decent size set. I used to have some back in the day. The right tool makes quick work of them but when you don't have it, yeah screw them things. :lol:

[SYKO]

you guys are a bunch of babies, ive never had a problem with those rings....whaaa whaaaa whaaaaa!

[jason 32]

hahahaha thats funny

Well I've never had a problem with excessive back hair or banana fetishes so I guess that makes us even. :beer

[Daddio]

I always called them Jesus clips. The smaller ones always seem to fly off of the pliers just before you can let the tension off and go flying across the shop,and you say Jesus where did it go?.

[Mosh]

You can buy a complete set of snap ring pliers(small to large) 10 sets in a box, from Harbor Freight,Auto Zone,Carquest Pepboys,and the like, for 45- 65 bucks.

I used to fight them things too,only becuase I would forget the right size pliers at work.Not any more,I leave the pliers here.

i have the exact ones seadoo mentioned and they work great. get them chris from seadoo and have hiw ship them.

[300rman]

get good pliers. and a scredriver works great if you know what your doing.
the onesi hate are the ones without the pinholes....its a open ended clip hat operates just like a snapring, but way more PITA. no, not those C-clips that press together, you see these on the inside of bike trannies and stuff like that.

[maggiesboy]

I got my set off the MAC tools truck....no problems at all. you get what you pay for. Just my .02
