The clamp that is supposed to hold the pins in.doesn't. cheapchineechit or snappy, they are all the same and don't work if you encounter a stiff snap ring. Maybe somebody sold ya some gooduns when ya lived up dere in massashoosets. Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

I used some the other day, might have been a HF set, I don't know. They were in my tool box and I use them maybe once or twice a year for something and they "just work." It's kinda hard to get the things wrong, I'm not sure what the issue is unless you are just a bunch of whinning loosers.

Agreed. Although I would love to have a set of Hazet snap ring pliers. I bet they would work good and feel good, too. -D > On Mar 26, 2017, at 2:58 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > It is hard to find any snap ring pliers that are any good. I have had cheap

It is hard to find any snap ring pliers that are any good. I have had cheap taiwan, cheepchinee, name brand, like lisle and snappy. They all are crap and the best of the bunch was the cheap taiwan set from 30 years ago when the cheap tools were from taiwan.. For years, I worked them out

Just do the seals (front, rear, and top), they are easy once you get past the clutch. If you've got the clutch tool, this is a no-brainer. I'm going on something like ten years on the compressor I put new seals in. - Max Charleston SC On Sun, Mar 26, 2017 at 12:24 PM, Kaleb
