Piston Ring Expander

Postby cat007 » Sun Aug 31, 2014 10:19 pm

Hey

Does anyone have a pair of piston ring expanders/pliers I can borrow?

Not really confident in doing it the manual way as when taking the old rings off, I somehow managed to break a couple of the middle rings. Don't really want that to happen when putting the new ones on...

PM me if you can help out :)

They go on much easier than they come off

You will poke holes in your thumbs before you snap one

Just be careful not to drop your nuts and let the ring scratch the piston :D
