RE: [alfa] synchro ring retainers

["Jeff Greenfield" <alfaguy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Usually a combination of hefty snap ring pliers and a small screwdriver will
do the trick. Use the pliers to open the clip enough to get the screwdriver
between the clip and the gear, then slowly work your away around with the
screwdriver while applying some pressure to the pliers.

Installation is done in reverse more or less.

Just be careful, you don't want one of those snap rings flying around
spontaneously ...

HTH,

Jeff

Alfisti,
I'm having a tough time with replacing the synchros in my transmission 
project. I have a pretty stout set of circlip pliers, but my forearms are
not like 
Juan Manuel Fangio's. There has got to be a trick to the easy removal and 
replacement of these ring retainers. If anyone has a recommendation I would
be very 
appreciative.
