Removing Gears on ProClimb

[CatRyder88]

Anyone have any tips to remove these snap rings on the gears?

There is an actual tool to remove those but failing that a termination screw driver(1/8 wide) and anther flat blade will take them off just pry up with the little one and pry over with the slightly larger one should come out slick.

I needed to buy more tools anyways.

Snap -On and Mac both make the pliers you need - they are used for rebuilding automatic and manual transmissions. Buy the tool - much better then distorting the snap ring.

i used 2 termination screw drivers. buy the tool, what a pain in the a$$ that was. springs flying all over the place, smashed fingers when the screwdrivers slip and so many curse words...

I bet those c clips are spec'd one time use ie replace if removed for service.

With the top gear off put the chain on the bottom gear then put the top gear in the chain and slide it onto the top shaft. Make sure the tensioner is loosened off first.

I highly recommend buying the proper tool.

I managed to make regular snap ring pliers work but I ground off the small nipples and used the base of that as a opening point as its more square.

And instead of removing them horizontally, I had to balance the pliers vertically and it finally worked.

I was told to use pliers but you need 2 sets of hands that way I believe, took me 2 hours to finally get it done myself.

I think this is the spoken tool?

why not drill 2 small 1/16 holes in the ends and use a snap ring pliers

The second set is what you need - Snap-On makes them too. I'll post the part number of them tomorrow.
