CV joint c-clip
Does anyone know of a tool to get the c-clip off the tranny side side of the rear axel that keeps the CV joint on the axel? Bugger has no ears to use a normal tool. I am replacing the CV boot.

If it has no ears (internal or external) then it may actually be an E clip.
In which case a screwdiver slipped into the gaps will work. Alan

Suspect you need to use Flat Snap Ring Pliers
Like these: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B095M5NLL3?ref_=mr_referred_us_au_nz Cheers |

Thanks. It has tapered ends and that's it. Dueling screwdrivers is seriously frustrating so I hope the tool works.

Those pliers should expand it a bit and let you insert a pick underneath the clip to ... destroy it. You will need replacement clip, or a circlip with ears.
