I like the ring pliers.

[@Open-Sport]

Yeah, those old Craftsman snap-ring pliers have worked for 40 years. Let me go look...sorry, no part number on it, but I did find "US Patent No.3,681,840". A Google search shows it was invented by James Leland Pool, and assigned to Lisle Corp. An image search shows the modern version is a Lisle 46000,

I hope those are the pliers you are referring to. Thanks for the comment.

I was trying to contact you through your website but there is no link to do so?

[@Open-Sport]

No, for a one-man operation, putting an email on a website results in dozens of spam mails. I am on LinkedIn, Paul Rako, and a message there will get to my inbox. If you want to ask if I do work or have parts, sorry, I just work on my own bikes and make videos to help others do the same. I do put parts on eBay now and then, but no firm schedule.

Mine had spirolocs. What a pain in the ass to get out. Tatro said thats why I use them

[@Open-Sport]

I hate them spirolocs too. One thing, with them I do think you should throw them away after once use, especially the way I bend them up getting them out. Harleys, can't rev to 9,000 RPM, so I have always found good old snap rings work OK.

[@harolddalesr8365]

For myseft , getting them in is the hardest.
