Hi,



Anyone know where I can get some really small tip

circlip pliers for the matco parking brake and

the master cylinders?  I can't seem to source

them locally, so I need a mail order source.



Thanks,

Mickey

Mickey,

Snapon Tools has an online store and sells snap ring pliers down to 0.039 in diameter.  I'm not sure that that is small enough for what you need, but,  if it is give them a try.  Their stuff is the best quality in tools available.   Don

Mickey

 Don has good advice here. I used my Blue Point (Snap On's budget or vendor made brand) Model PR-327 reversible snap ring pliers to remove and install that snap ring on the Matco parking brake valve.  This is a set of straight nosed pliers. The corresponding 90 degree angle pliers are Model PR-129

 These pliers can be used for both internal AND external snap rings. Similar units are sold by Mac Tools, Matco Tools and Cornwell Tools.  Odds are, you can borrow a pair from a friend who is a professional auto mechanic. I can't imagine anyone doing this professionally without these tools.

McMaster Carr has a selection of pliers.  I think I offered before, but 

if they cannot ship to you easily, I would be willing to get them and 

ship to you.  We order from McMaster frequently and they are just a few 

miles down the road.

You guys are great - thanks for the info.  I couldn't think of

another term for the circlip pliers, but once I searched on

snap ring pliers, the world opened up.  I've got my sister

sending me a "care package" in the next couple of days, so

I'll add this on.

Thanks again,

Mickey

Bought mine at the autoparts store, came with interchangeable tips and on

set was tiny.
