This is the biggest pain. Just did mine. Got the tool pictured. Didn't work. Had to use 2 large regular screw drivers and 2 of us to get it off. I replaced it wit 2 normal snap rings. 2 equaled same thickness. Good luck. Took me 3 days to get that thing off.
Awesome. This isn't the only place this type of clamp ring is used on the front bucket or backhoe. Found a place to get those pliers. Be here Thursday. Thanks a million
Trying to get left bucket elevator cylinder off. Lower snapping no problem. Upper one not normal snap ring but is very thick with only a split, no holes like snap ring. Any help would be appreciated. Large snap ring tool won't get it?
Help please
