anyone know how to remove snap ring
 

does any one know how to remove snap ring on the piston . i trying to use the snap ring remove but it is too short . anyone know what tool can remove it . thanx

snap ring pliers... or a small screw driver and a pair of needle nose pliers... craftsman makes snap ring pliers that have interchangable tips.

i have to interchangable tip one but it seen too short to get the ring .

Are you trying to remove a snap-ring or the circlips?????

These are totally different fasteners requiring different tools and methods. :)

it is snap ring in the piston , which hold the pin

The piston pins are usually off center of the piston. Its much easier to go to the side of the piston that the clip is closest to the outside and its also easiest to put it together that way. I have a couple ice pics that I use to get under the snap ring, circlip.

I use this small dental style pic. Work it under the circlip as shown. Then stick your finger in the wrist pin hole on the piston, work the clip out and catch it with your finger. Keeps them from flying all over the garage.

The piece in the piston is not a snap ring. and as Steve said, the snap ring plier isnt going to work. I used a small screw driver and needle nose pliers. worked fine. For reinstall buy or borrow the Stomski tool. Youll have them all in in 5 minutes. Well worth it...

thanx guys
