quadfever54 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 how do you remove the rear shock snap clips, what tool can i use ?? help please!!! thanks Quote
racer Posted January 17, 2005 Report Posted January 17, 2005 im unsure of what youre talking about, but if they are what im thinking you can use a few things. 1 is a set of snap ring pliers. another is a sharpened set of needle nose pliers, or some dental picks. the pliers work the best. but any of those can be used.

BdBanshee Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 If you are talking about the ones that hold the spring on the rear shock, you need to use a spring compressor. Quote
racer Posted January 18, 2005 Report Posted January 18, 2005 thats what i thought he was describing, an internal snap ring. guess not though. Quote
quadfever54 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Report Posted January 18, 2005 thats what i thought he was describing, an internal snap ring. guess not though. 308102[/snapback] guys: it is the outter cir clip on both the top and bottom of the shock which secures the rotating bushing in place. go to this link for a description and diagrahm http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandit.com/p...%2F+YFZ350F.asp the must be a special tool to help remove it. it is difficult because you cant get anything beside it to wedge it out. maybe something that could wedge between the open ends and go behind it to compress it. any help appreciated Ray Quote

Try using a very small ice pick and pick the end of it until it moves, then try to pry another pic or a very very small presision flat-head in there and move it up and out. One end came out in <5 mins and the other was like 15...It should work. Spray some WD40 in there to get it loose..Good Luck Quote
