Looking for tiny hog ring pliers?
 

I don't know if that is the correct name....... What is the correct tool to remove the tiny ring that holds the seals in the Big Bores? I have a heck of a time rebuilding these...... Where can I find a good tool for this?

Aren't these e clips? A small flat head screw driver will pop them right off. Just be careful as they will shoot off and mysteriously disappear so as to never find them.

a pointed scribe will pick them out by the little hole in them........

Great link! Thanks alot.
Yes, you are right! I have lost a couple of these. Removing them isn't that hard. My question is replacing them. I have fought and struggled to replace those little bastards. There is nothing like the right tool for the job and I was hoping someone had found the perfect thing. Thanks again for the help here.

I bought a cheap snap ring pliers from harbor freight. came with multiple ends. I took the smallest ones, then ground them even finer to a super point.
