Turbo bearing retainer snap ring

[RandomGuy]

Man i'm using some ghetto harbor freight snap ring pliers and its taking FOREVER

anyone have any small ones because these are huge

i already got one of the inner ones in and its taking me FOREVER to get the other inner one in... the outter ones wont be too hard though

I just moved so all my tools are still in random boxes so i just get more shit from harbor freight in the mean time LOL


Anyone have some ones good for this I can use for like an hour heh

(in gwinnett)

I got like everything that would even possibly work at harbor freight but they're all too big (they dont clamp down completely) I went over one of them with an angle grinder (wonder if that is covered in the warranty LOL Jk ) which helped me get the compressor side one in... but the turbine side one is pretty far in, and takin forever

i used to have a small one with needle like probes, it took literally 15 minutes to swap all 4 out and put in the new ones

Go to Sears at Gwinnett Place. I bought some there a few months ago.

well thats exactly what i did lol i just used a pick set i got from harbor freight to break them out, (the old ones)

and now its a bitch to get the new ones in... the inner ones are hard as fuck with this ghetto ass tools I got, the compressor side one i got in on a fluke heh

But yeah i'm going to go check out sears today

Just do what i did to reinstall them. Use those pics you can buy from autozone and PRY them toghter then push it in the turbo and it will slide down into its spot!

sounds like its worth a shot

what kind of picks are you talking about, i got some picks from harbor freight heres a pic:


they are just like that 4 peices.

i'm going to give it a try, i might need another straight one though.

[B18c1Turboed]

Yup those are it!!

naw those will work just fine, use the straight and the 45 degree one!!
