Aisin hub c clips

[stevebradford]

those $@*€ c clips that fight you every time in the hub on axle shaft. I need new ones as these have opened up too much so I was wondering.

has anyone used a decent snap ring instead? Or is there any other options?

I've used the normal snap rings... they work fine

I just put a big slip joint plyer over them and 're-arch' them. Do you have the proper plyers to remove them?
That could be the issue. I've got two pairs. About $12 new.

I don't... I have four sets of snap ring pliers but not those I will have to buy a set. Thanks for the link! I was thinking of changing to the snap rings with eyes just for ease. I really hate chasing them all over the shop.

2 pairs also the only internal snap ring pliers you will ever need and a must for removing the viscous cup in the transfercase.

Snap rings like you pictured tend to go airborne in my experience, and they are thinner usually. The factory snap ring
on the hubs is quite thick by comparision.
When I first bought my first FJ40 back in '96 - someone gave me my first set, said don't hit the trail without them.
Said unless you are really handy with two screwdrivers, you'll curse for not having the right pliers. Couple of months later
I blew a birf way up on the mountain, and I damned near kissed those things that day!
I had all the right tools for a birf change up on Mt Benson.
