How do you get the snap ring out of the front master cylinder on a 1980 xs1100g.None of my snap ring pliers are long enough.Is there a pair from craftsman or Matco that will work?Or is there something special i need to get?

Hey Nate,
A search for "long snap ring plier" revealed several threads, this one also has link to MikesXS that sells special ones. But you can find them at Sears as well.

I believe at least one of the links you will find with the search engine talks about grinding down the ends of a cheap pair of needlenose pliers.Ken TalbotComment

My craftsman pliers work well enough. Although, you kinda have to be a craftsman to use them. I hold the plunger down with a flat screw driver. I slide it across horozontally where the handle goes. You must have the MC held on the ground with your left hand, then the small craftsman pliers work fine.United States Merchant Marine Academy, Kings Point, NY
