Stub Shaft Removal
I'm replacing rear axle seals in a 90 vert. I'm down
to removing the stub axles. Anyone know a
name brand or a part number for a pair of 90
degree snap ring pliers that will remove these?
Thanks for your help,
David

One of the guys at work bought a pair for something and they didn't work for what he needed, but worked perfect for those snap rings. They are big like heavy pliers and the only mark on them says "NORTHERN". I'd look at one of their stores if there are any in your area. The tips on these things are almost .090", those rings are tough!
Sorry I can't give more info.

Got 'er done. Used a set of 90 degree pliers from Harbor Freight. They are cheap, but worked great. My leak was coming from the seal being in backwards. Car had 20,000 miles on it when I bought it, so I don't know if the seal had been replaced or if it was put in backwards at the factory.
