New Instructions Greatly reduce the time to get the snap rings out

12/4/2011

4 Comments

 
I always try to come up with new ways to do the job.  I recently was playing around with a better way to get the snap rings out.  I modified a 45 degree needle nose to 90 degrees.  When you compress the cap in one of two ways (Block, Pry Bar, and Bungee Cord or Block, Pry Bar, and pressing between the sheet metal and converter), then compress the snap ring with the needle nose or snap ring tool.  While holding the ring compressed, gradually release the pressure on the cap.  The pressue from the return spring should push the cap out on the opposite side of the snap ring grooves.  When fully released the top of the ring should stay out of the groove.  Then just take a pick or small screwdriver and pry it out from the top.  You may have to work around the diameter a bit.  That is it and it works great!

I am going to be coming up with the recommended needle nose to do the work and probably sell them on my site.  If I cannot find the right one I will modify ones I know I can get a hold of.

Along with this, I strongly recommend modifying the snap ring after you have it out.  The snap ring originally has an angle that leads down to a radius corner.  If you take a small file or a Dremel Tool and make it a sharp corner, and also angle it back towards the split in the ring a bit.  Basically with the needle nose I used after doing this you can put it on the ring and compress it and it no longer slips off.  You can test the modification one whatever tool you are using to make sure it works.

Also, if you every have a oring wear out, there it a 90% chance it will be the inner one on the OD servo. To fix it I would just remove the upper heat shield and follow the directions from there.

Some very good and highly recommended tips.

I saw a piece of paper used to mark where to drill what is the measurement from the edge so I can drill it and what size bit do I use to get the snapring pushed in to get it out .I bought the pliers but they keep slipping off.not quite bent right.
