Snap ring size for drive shaft ends?
I'm rebuilding my torque tube. I need to know the sizes for the smaller snap rings (external) that go on the input and output shafts to retain the bearings.
To clarify-- I know the part numbers, I want to know the generic sizes. The part numbers I need are
12456209 (1 req)
12456222 (3 req)

I know the local hardware store to me that sells all kinds of weird fasteners and what not does not have snap rings this large.
Are your factory snap rings broken that you need to replace them? Its not usually a part that needs replacing on just a normal rebuild.

because in this case they probably are. Large snap rings are odd and generally arent carried many places.

In lieu of the time you spent on this thread you could have called RPM and gotten the sizes. Or perhaps literally take your old ones to wherever you think stocks these locally to you and buy the same ones. This thread is confusing.
