Subject:      easy C.clip trick for c.v.s'

I recently replaced my c.v. joints. I had a hell of a time with the c clips since no one sells c clip spreaders. Then i had this wonderful brainstorm. I just bought a $10 craftsman set of snap ring plyers and ground the out side of the largest set of teeth flat. If you take this set up and come at the rings at a 180 degree angle, removing and installing c clips is sooooooo easy. Don't even bother with the two screw drivers thing, I just ended up stabbing myself and bending the clips. just thought you should know. Ed.
