Tool for removing/install piston circlip?
Just wondering what everyone uses for installing and removing the piston circlip on gudgeon pin on a .12 nitro engine.
Have found fine tip needle nose pliers too large (hardware store bought) and bought some exceed right angle tweezers but bent to the tip. Thanks in advance! BB |
I also use the exceed tweezers or my finger nail .Sometimes I also hold it in place with my thumb and push the other end in with my index finger nail.Helps from loosing the circlip for sure.Then I make sure its seated with the tweezers or a 1.5mm hex tool.

Piston clips
This is a task best performed with your hands and the piston in a clear plastic bag.

I use my fingers and the backside of an exact-o knife.

Go to local beading shop or ebay and buy Bent Chain Nose Pliers one brand name is beadsmith like the ones from the hardware but very small.
