initial D is REAL!

I wanted to rebuild my turbo, the only thing keeping me are the snap rings to change out the bearings on my s5 t2 turbo. Anyone know a good snap ring plier that can get those tiny snap rings?

gotta buy the high dollar heavy duty ones............. or bring your turbo to a diesel repair shop, they can do it for you...........

That is what I sorta figured. Anyone know any good snap ring pliers, brand?

Anyways, after looking at the turbo for a second, I ended up using a pic and a small flathead to get the snap rings out. The bearings came out

I was going to reuse that bearing housing, but I noticed the taps that stick out to hold the thrust washer in place were bent slightly.

Yeah, getting them out with screw drivers isn't too hard. Trying to get them back in is another story.

Spend $80 at snap on.
