Snap Ring removal help/ Loaner tools


BIGGU

Recommended Posts

Looking for some assistance or loaner tools.

 

Trying to get the Differential out of this rear end and Lexus has decided to use C clips to shim and hold the diff in there. Ive tried a few different snap ring removal tools, even gone to harbor freight and gotten the 10" set they have(junk btw)

 

anyone have a C clip tool that would be willing to let me barrow it to try?

 

Picture for reference so you can see what im talking about,

I tried my snap on but just couldn't get the power I needed to get it to close up so I could pull it out. I was thinking maby get some larger needle nose vise grips and grinding them down or weld new ends that will fit directly into the eyelets.

 

what ever I do I gotta be carefull on the C clip as its a re usable part and it controls the adjustment of the backlash.

Could you at least get it to squeeze together? Normally if you can at least get one size to move you can use a pair of straight screw driver to pry it out.
