Default Exactly what snap-ring pliers are working great on the 56's??

I've got some monster SnapOn snapring pliers I use when replacing C5 Ttube bearings, but my small pliers are a pita on the many snap rings on the 56

I've got a a decent ring spreader(which is a MUST on these boxes)

Thanks very much.

Anyone dupe the Kent Moore bench bracket?? I bought the KM trans support for the R/I(best $150 spent for the blue tools)

I use the sears ones, they work great on the 56s, NV4500 and the NP t-cases.

I don't think those will work, those look like snap ring pliers. You want lock ring pliers. I got mine at Sears too, but I have seen them at Autozone I believe.

You need a set of snap-ring pliers for the T56 to remove either 5-6 or reverse fork.

i got some snap on ones, which have some nice big flat ends.

I tried using the ones above and you can do it, but found the job much more difficult.

Got mine used off ebay for not alot of money
