OK, I got the old snap rings off (with out pliers), but there is no way I'll ever get the new ones on with out the special snap/lock ring pliers.
Been searching in town and on the Net for a set and no luck. I did find a picture where a guy bot a set from Sears back in '04, but Sears no longer has them.
Anyone have a source?

Re: Trans Rebuild HELP, Snap Ring Pliers
Thank you Bill G.! Having the right tool always makes the job so much easier. Bill happen to have the elusive (I checked 4 local parts/tool places and two tranny shops with no help) lock ring pliers, and they just so happened to be Craftsman (947386), and in stock locally! Two of the three snaps rings are on, and on very quickly, the last one goes on near the end of assembly.
I also got the chassis back for the media blasters, so now I can start the painting of it. Cost was $200 for the chassis blasting.
Thanks again Bill!

I'm glad Sears still has these, as I got the following responce ftom Matco Tools:
Unfortunately, the ones that were available have been discontinued.
Thank you.

So of you ever think you might need a pair to re-build a trans you might want to get a set before Sears stops caring them.

Re: Trans Rebuild HELP, Snap Ring Pliers
Looks like Snap-On still carries a set, here is their response:
the ones you need would be our part # PR16 has notch tips. Also you can see other transmission snap ring pliers in our online catalog under drive line header
hope this will help
thank you
Snap-on
$40, but at least they still have them and other trans tools available.
