    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Trying to remove the snap ring in my CV carburetors resulted in frustration. The good news is Motion Pro (08-0279) offers a tool that will remove the snap ring without potentially damaging the slide. Bad news is the item can sell for as much $25!
 
I use HF long needle nose pliers and ground the tips a little.
I've pulled hundreds with them.
 
Silly me, I bought the tool. Works great on brake master cylinders, too. Grabs the rings the first time, every time.

I've got tons of homemade tools, but sometimes it's nice to spend the lousy $25 and get a tool I'll use the rest of my life.
 
I've tried needle nose pliers, I've tried snap ring pliers. No comparison to the Motion Pro tool. I'd get the real deal in a heartbeat.
 
Thanks Brian
Your sarcasm actually pi$$ed me off for a second or two.
Good job
It worked.
 
I use hemostats, no grinding necessary

Its a little eassier going back together if you pull the needle down compressing the little spring and clamp it there until you get the snap ring back in. Works for me anyway, your results may vary
