Im having a lot of trouble trying to get the 3rd gear snap ring off the main shaft. For a T5.

I just bought a pair of Craftsman pliers and I keep breaking the pins off and bending them. The ones that use all those different size pins are nothing but garbage. Do they make any other kinds of snap ring pliers that do not use pins?

This is getting crazy I already spent an hour trying to get this damn ring off.

Thanks Stangbear.

That settles it Snap-On makes the best tools. I'm done with Craftsman.
