SYE snap ring sucks!

SnagglePuss · Apr 6, 2008

Getting these snap rings on and off kicked my butt. I dont think they are meant to be removed. I had to go buy better snap ring pliers cause my cheapos just werent up to the task.

The only way I could get the big one on was to put the new output shaft in my vice and tap it on.

Its interesting seeing how that little oil pump works in there too.
BTW, where is the fill hole on the tcase?

Should be two plugs on the back of the case. The top one is the fill plug, and the lower one is the drain plug...As for the snap rings, yep, they can be a real pain. I've had t-cases that I get them off in ten minutes, and some that take three hours...

Sorry man but I am a little worried that you posted pics of your T-case torn down but asked where the fill plug was LOL j/k.

Get something from this page. They have a flat nose that spreads the ring.

I have various snap ring pliers, but didn't have a set of LOCK ring pliers before I did my SYE. I bought a set before starting the job and it made it simple. I always try to use a project as an excuse to get more tools, but the right pliers made a big difference on this one.
