ABSTRACT:
A tool for facilitating removal or insertion of spring type snap rings mounted in either an internal or external groove on a member includes a relatively small end section insertable into hard-to-reach locations such as deeply into an internal bore. An elongated pin extending outwardly from the end section is inserted within an eyelet of the snap ring. The tool is rotated about its longitudinal axis with the end section reacting against the member carrying the snap ring. Due to the offset relation of the pin to this axis, the pin is displaced radially to force the end of the snap ring out of its groove to facilitate removal of the snap ring.
