Anyone know of the correct pliers to remove the IFS front axle snap ring. I have fought with these darn things too many times @#$%^&*(. I have all the standard snap ring pliers and there is a particular one that I have been using along with a very small screwdiver blade to assist but it's still a pain. There has to be a better way. Toyota special tool?

ah. Thanks guys. My neighbors probably would thank you also. They won't have to hold their hands over their kids ears anymore when I'm working on these clips.

Sears sells a sweet lock ring pliers that makes this an easy task. I too fought the fight and gave up by investing in the right tool. They were only $15.00 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> pliers

I have some snap ring pliers JUST for that function; the tips are vertical paddles. The trick is having the opening span to slip the clip over the stub. Marlin has 'em. http://www.marlincrawler.com/hardware-tools/tools/snap-ring-pliers <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
