Are you from a warm climate? This is what cars look like in the rust belt after a few years. Still haven't installed the new bearing because the spring is broken and I'm going to change that as well. I do a little more digging and then find I need another tool and then have to order and wait...

Yah man you need a forcing screw with the same specs as the bearing puller screw. Do you know the thread pitch and diameter of that thing? Get one the same length as well. I'm guessing a replacement screw is going to be expensive. Make sure you always lube the threads before use cause even a...

I see, didn't know how that tool worked but I didn't need it anyways. The main thing I was worried about was the axle being seized and I got that loose. I attached the old rotor backwards on the hub and beat on it with a 3 lb sledge and it came out pretty smoothly.

Yah I use to hate Princess Auto but now I love them and I'm there all the time. My only pet peeve is that they always ask me for my number at check out. Below is another set that look just like the ones I posted before but cost a lot more. I wonder if these are made in USA...

Just checked, they are going to cost me $200 CAD and take like 1-3 months to ship or something. Mister Worker has this set on sale right now for $220 CAD. It's the precision ones. I might buy them but I'm worried about the customs fees. Has anyone from Canada ordered off this site before? If so...

Damn I wish I bought from Mister Worker too. Maybe I should cancel my order and buy from there. What size pliers did you use for the A/C clutch? I think I need to do the same thing on my car, replace the clutch coil.

Yah I probably should have just bought those but I read that they unscrew or something also I don't like how they look but at least they have a case. I will not buy an ugly tool without a case, I care about silly things like that. The Lang style snap ring pliers aren't that bad but example of an...

Same, recently picked up an Estwing 3 lb drilling hammer and I love it.

Well I'm doing regular maintenance and repairs on a few cars right now so something good quality. I just ordered these from Amazon Knipex 48 11 J3. Will be buying a couple more or a set of the smaller ones even though having a set and then 1 single is going to drive me mad.

Does anyone know what size pliers I would need for the external snap rings that hold the pully and clutch on an A/C compressor from a Golf MK4? Not sure if both are the same. This is part of a video of a guy taking out the snap rings for reference, looks like they are maybe 40mm snap rings? FFW...

I don't like these they look ugly lol.

Ok I'm buying the 48 31 J3 because they don't offer a set of larger snap ring pliers in their kits which is silly. Yah I'm just going to buy Knipex singles and throw them in my plastic tool box even though I don't really want to treat expensive tools that way but I don't have a tool chest since...

They don't have what I need and almost all their sets are small snap ring pliers

I want a complete snap ring plier set that's decent quality but I don't want to pay more than $180. Are these good? 12 pc Bent and Straight Snap Ring Plier Set. They look similar to the Lang Tools (3495) but they're Powerfist so probably made in China and super cheap so I guess the question is...

Thanks! These bearings go in from the front and the back has like a shoulder they sit on. At first I was confused and thought they needed to be pressed out from the back but it didn't make sense since the snap ring is on the front. And It only has that one circlip or snap ring. Honestly I don't...

Update 3: Got the snap ring and bearing out! The snap ring came out easy, looks like it wasn't sitting in the groove all the way judging by the pic above or something but bearing was pretty hard to break free and I was initially struggling to find the right cup sizes in the bearing kit. As soon...

Update 2: got it. Now for that rusty snap ring. I didn't get a chance to buy good snap ring pliers but I'm going to go at it with a cheap pair and see what happens. Thanks for the help everyone.

Update: the puller arrived and I got the axle out without much of a fight. Bout to beat on this thing now and see if I can get the hub loose with the rotor on backwards. The hub is pretty wobbly already so maybe it might break free.

Yah if the rotor trick doesn't work which I'm guessing it probably won't I'll take off the knuckle and find someone to press everything out. Before doing that I'll try to beat on the back of the hub with a socket though and see what happens. I don't think a hub tamer would work on this car as...

1st pic is of 1 of 2 14 piece Mastercraft metric wrench sets I got on sale. 2nd pic is a crappy tire 17" tool box, it's their extra crappy brand called "Certified" but I like it. 3rd pic is 1 of 2 Husky jack stands (the other stand is currently holding up my Golf) that I got from Home Depot...
