just use needle nose and bend it upwards, use the edge of the piston as a fulcrum, and put a clean rag around the rod to keep the c clip from falling down in the crankcase cavity
of course...brain fart,im getting a set tomorrow, tnks

There is a tool for every job, and I have most of them. You can almost never be unsuccessful in your work when you use the right tool. You'll learn this after you screw something expensive up real bad by trying to cut corners with the wrong tools. Would you turn a screw in with a file? I bet you could if the file was small enough, but you'd probably ruin the screw head in the process.
No problem sickOne
LOL, it is a simple job that you are suggesting that he spend uneeded money. Just use the small needle nose pliers in the fashon that i described and it works, simple
