Snap ring located inside the transmission case on the output shaft, known as the snap ring from hell.
A slight modification needs to be made on my snap ring pliers to fit inside the 1/8" groove to remove the snap ring. I used a welding rod bent 45 degrees to determine the thickness of the groove, now to file the pliers down.
The snap rings pliers have a rounded edge that needs to be filed square to the thickness of the welding rod, rather than use the bench grinder I'll hand file the new profile. This will give me more accuracy plus keep the heat from annealing the pliers.
