Guys - what are you using for snap ring pliers? The Proto ones I have are just barely up to the task (would like bigger tips and the overall "stretch" is just about maxed-out to get the brake stay snap ring on-and off).

Thanks guys. Anyone know what "tip" size we need? I checked the manual and doesn't specifically list it. Or if the referenced Channel Lock set has big enough "tips" then that's cool too.

these are what i got for the snap ring for the brake stay:

it is a tight fit in the holes but makes it easy work despite that.

Look around for a set of ratcheting snap ring pilers with a full set of tips well worth the money
