ya, go to a hardware store and look in the discount bin, you can usually get some cheap stuff in there....or you can grind down a junky pair of cutters or something...

a long nail..

Poke it in the snap ring hole/eye and pull one side out of the groove and stick a flat head screw driver in the way...

Then get a 2nd flathead screwdriver or the like and pry with the first one and gently push the clip over and over t'il you can get it out.

May take a few tries.. be careful once it pops out !!! don't loose an eye. LOL.

lol sounds fun, or I could probably go to princess auto sometime and get a 5-8 dollar pair lol ...

Bigred... You order parts from toys or adrians?... I wonder if G-bourque sells fork seals and if so if they are really any cheaper....

only way to know is to call... but as you may know , i'm avoiding toys like the plague.

Hav'nt gone to Adrien's yet. Rob says' they are pretty cool to deal with.

And yeah.. my method is pretty caveman crafted but when it's 1am and you're drunk, you do what you can with what you got !! hahahahah..
