What is your favorite tool for the snap-ring on a type-1 crank up near the cam drive gear?
This one just isn't cutting it.

Well, it doesn't work for crap either way. What do you use?

No way to get a Snap-on today. But this one from Napa got it done.

I actually brought the crankshaft with me into the store. Much easier to explain what I needed that way. Turns out the owner was once an A&P mechanic.

When in doubt... that's the way to do it and be sure.

yeap, I think mine is crapsman? works good enough! basically identical to that, sometimes it likes to twist on heavy springs, but it gets the job done. Also makes a good distributor drive gear removal tool.
