Yes, push the side of the ring that is 180 degrees from the opening in with=
a screwdriver or something small with a notch. Once inserted, rotate into =

Subject: Re: [Fot] Snap Rings in Pistons
I've been able to use a small thin screwdriver to work them in. Put the en=
d in the wrist pin hole and angle the blade to compress the ring. Hard to =
describe. I go as far as I can by hand and then use the screwdriver to get=
more leverage. There's got to be a special purpose tool too.
