You say “this video” but I see only a link to your channel.

I was on car forums and spent two hours trying to get c clip. This video gave me the trick thank you!

@Yonatan24 11 месяцев назад

Fantastic! Glad to help.

@veracity91 Год назад

it took me 2 days of research just to find out what these were called... -.- I kept typing in things like "locking Pin" - "Motor Lock Pin" and nothing would show up.. finally i found out they are called Snap Rings... and there are specific pliers to remove these called "Snap Ring Pliers" ... just wantd to mention that incase others have the same problem

@Yonatan24 Год назад

Indeed, they have a bunch of names. I originally thought they were called horseshoe clips as they look.

For many of your methods this is all good if you don't mind destroying the clip, but if you're the type that doesn't have the proper tools, you probably don't have replacement clips either.

@Yonatan24 Год назад

That's a good point, hence why I show many methods.

@KipdoesStuff Год назад

Good stuff. I like to use extreme force with hammer and chisel. Then I remember I have a set of pliers for this and smash the whole thing with a maul and toss it into the garbage, lol.

@Yonatan24 Год назад

1. Waste 2 hours trying to solve the problem 2. Throw it all away because you have a better idea Rinse and repeat!

@GKofTX Год назад

thanks, Got mine off but how is the best way to get it back on without special tools?

@Yonatan24 Год назад

It depends, what situations are you in where doing the opposite of what I show here doesn't work?

@BuckScrotumn Месяц назад

I have these little bastards on my crossbow, and the problem is that I have to put them back on so I have to remove them without damaging them. The added salt in the wound is that it shoots off in a random direction and is as big as a crumb.

@Yonatan24 Месяц назад

I've heard of people using blue tack so it doesn't fly off. Consider purchasing spare ones as well. Good luck!

Do I really need these? My reel mower seems to be working fine without them right now

@Yonatan24 Год назад

Absolutely if you don't want to risk sharp spinning parts flying at you.

@DavidA-xp4ww Год назад

@Yonatan24 so if I put these on, will they be able to turn while underneath the bolt?

@Yonatan24 Год назад

@@DavidA-xp4ww I'm not sure exactly of the situation so it's hard to give advice. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

@aussiehardwood6196 8 месяцев назад

I just see this as a bit of a cowboy hack video demonstrating how to remove clips WITHOUT using the correct tool. Which there is NOTHING wrong with making such a video. Sometime for many they simply just dont have the tools. But the right tool has benefits in not damaging the clip, not losing the clip as it fires off at the speed of light and being able to successfully reuse/refit the clip.

@Yonatan24 8 месяцев назад

Indeed!

@ellement112x 2 месяца назад

ok but i can't get them back on now

@ddwieland Месяц назад

That's good for snap rings with holes through their ends, assuming the hole size isn't smaller than the pins. I'm dealing with a very small such snap ring and have to improvise. This video gives me some ideas to try.

@@Yonatan24 they literally destroyed the clip in nearly every situation rather than removing it properly.

@barbaralutman142 5 месяцев назад

These clips once removed should be replaced anyhow. They weaken even when removed with proper tools

@Tenacious-Tiger 4 месяца назад

@@barbaralutman142 Nonsense ...... Proper removal with a mini screwdriver or mini pliers (depending on the size of the clip and care taken) should have no effect on the clip ( That's why they call them clips ) But occasionally clips do get bent, then you can replace it if you don't want to bend it back.

I hate circlips ! Time for some genius to design a better easier clip.

@Yonatan24 3 месяца назад

They are genius. Alternatively, you can just use a pin

@citizen127at Год назад

You have some interesting techniques there, but the title is terrible. The phrase "10 best DIY ways" is nonsensical. If there are 10 ways to do something, they can't all be the best. Some of the more destructive methods you demonstrated are clearly not "best" in any case. You should've dropped "best" and gone with "10 DIY ways" instead, or better yet, you could've found the three best techniques and gone with "3 best DIY ways."
