Default Re: Snap ring removal tips please

I took a piece of tubing that was slightly larger than the shaft but smaller than the ring and pressed it on while spreading the opening with a LARGE flat blade screwdriver. I to had a heck of a time with it until I tried what I just described and it dang near fell on.

If you don't have a press handy, have a friend's help either the screwdriver work or pushing down. Also, instead of a tube anything firm with a hole the correct size will work.

Regards
Bill
