I'm taking my tranny apart and I'm stuck! I'm talking about the snap ring inside the fill hole that holds the bearing in place.
The manual says to use snap ring pliers and pull it off the bearing. But you can't just expand the snap ring and pull it up out of the groove on the bearing. The case is cut away for the snap ring but the cut is not large enough to give any play to move the snap ring up or down.
there is room for it to expand out, but not move up or down.
I wonder if my snap ring pliers are not the right type? They work great on the snap rings that have the tiny hole on each side.. These pliers have little pins on the tips that grab those holes. This snap ring doesn't have those holes on each side.
This is after a good 30 mins of trying to get it off. I used 2 screwdrivers to get this far. I'm guessing I got the snap ring out of the ridge on the other side of the bearing and that's why it is not snapping back into it's original place. In one side the curved part is all the way against the casing, it is close but not quite touching on the other side. What am I supposed to do to get this thing off??
