Rotating TD04 - What tool is best to get the snap ring off?


Recommended Posts

Realised i need to rotate both ends of this turbo to get it to work in my starlet, i dont have a tool to get the snap ring off and it looks like a bit of a monster!

Can someone tell me what tool is best to get it off with and where to pick one up, i am guessing i need one with some good leverage!

I know what you mean are they called Surplus pliers or something like that

Mine was a right Cun* too We broke two sets trying to get it off!

Its like a thing ring that sits inside a lip of the housing with a gap at the top and two hole either side yeah??

i used a circlip tool from halfords. was 7.99. external 90 degree circlip plier. had to bend the prongs a little to span the gap. plus lots of wd. it came out easy enough and went back in even easier with the tool. alot of peeps find it harder to get it in.
